NY man opened fire at Long Island candlelight vigil

A Long Island man opened fired during a candlelight vigil for a motorcycle accident victim — an attack that “severely injured” two mourners, shattering one victim’s femur, prosecutors announced Friday.

Steven Reid was held without bail Friday after his arraignment on attempted murder in Suffolk County Court for the Jan. 6 shooting in Bellport, where 100 people had gathered to commemorate a man who died in a motorcycle accident just days before, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office.

Reid, 27, of Calverton, fled after the shooting and was arrested in North Carolina Sept. 19.

He was brought back to the Empire State on Sept. 26 to face prosecution.

According to prosecutors, Reid had gotten into a physical fight with a man at the vigil, pulled out a gun and shot the victim point-blank in the right thigh — shattering his femur — before lodging lower down in his shin.

The victim had to undergo emergency surgery, placing metal rods and pins in his leg, the DA’s office said.

Minutes after the first attack, Reid chased a fleeing crowd and opened fire on other mourners, shooting another man at close range with four bullets to his back, shoulder and both legs, prosecutors claim.

He then continued the rampage, shooting at two women and a 9-year-old boy as they sought refuge at a nearby house, the DA’s office claims.

“This defendant allegedly opened fire on an unsuspecting community gathered to mourn the loss of a loved one,” District Attorney Raymond Tierney said in a statement Friday. “His alleged actions severely injured two individuals and put countless others in harm’s way. He then fled Suffolk County to try to avoid responsibility for these alleged actions.

Reid was charged in an 8-count indictment with second-degree attempted murder, assault, attempted assault, criminal possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment.

He’s due back in court Nov. 18.

Reid’s lawyer didn’t immediately return a request for comment Friday.
