Created: April 07, 2021 11:26 AM
GATES, N.Y. (WHEC) — Police say an innocent man is dead after an attempted carjacking on Buell Road in Gates Wednesday morning.
Police say it happened just before 11 a.m. They say the victim was a 71-year-old man and he was shot multiple times.
He was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital, where he died.
"I can tell you that this is a total—unbelievable—just a true brazen act of violence that occurred in broad daylight at 10:45 a.m., which is unacceptable and not something that we would routinely see here in the Town of Gates," Gates Police Chief James VanBrederode said.
VanBrederode says one suspect is a light-skinned Black or Hispanic man. Police are looking for a black car with tinted windows and anyone with information is encouraged to call 911.
