Three individuals, including two teenagers, have been charged with attempted murder following a shooting incident in Syracuse, New York. On July 15, a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old allegedly fired shots in the 100 block of Lincoln Drive. Syracuse Police suspect Dewitt Rohadfox, a 20-year-old, served as the getaway driver.
According to WSYR-TV, law enforcement agencies, including Syracuse City Police, Onondaga County Police, New York State Troopers, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, conducted searches at the suspects' residences. During the search, authorities discovered three loaded Glock handguns, one of which the 16-year-old allegedly stole. Additionally, suspected narcotics were found in Rohadfox’s home.
The suspects face multiple charges, including attempted murder, criminal use and possession of a weapon, and reckless endangerment. The 16-year-old is also charged with criminal possession of stolen property. The investigation revealed that one of the guns used in the incident was modified to be fully automatic.
