NYPD Probes Shooting of Four Inside Queens Nightclub

Local leaders say the club’s record of gunfire signals a persistent safety risk.

Overview

  • Police say gunfire erupted inside Amadeus in Elmhurst early Sunday around 3:30 to 3:40 a.m., wounding four men in their 20s.
  • Officers found two 28-year-old victims at the club, including one shot in the face and another grazed in the head, and EMS took both to Elmhurst Hospital in stable condition.
  • A 25-year-old with wounds to his torso and left arm and a 24-year-old with a right arm wound arrived by private rides, one at Elmhurst and one at Kings County, and both were listed as stable.
  • Detectives report no arrests as the investigation continues, and a law enforcement source said the suspected gunman has a face tattoo and wore a dark jacket with a red collar.
  • City Council Members Shekar Krishnan and Phil Wong urged action, citing a 2023 fatal shooting at the same venue and a separate shooting last year that injured three people in a car outside.
