Woodmere, NY – A Long Island man abducted in an early-morning home invasion today was killed after he was shot in the chest, near his home in the exclusive waterfront town of Woodmere.
Authorities have released the following information to YWN:
At 1:40 A.M., two armed male subjects entered a South End Avenue home by forcing the son of the homeowner and a family friend, both in their early 20’s, inside at gunpoint. The subjects had begun to secure one of the victims when they forced both out of the house and into the rear seat of the homeowner’s vehicle. As they were driving away, one unrestrained victim was able to exit the moving car and flee. The vehicle then turned onto Andover Avenue where the second victim attempted to exit the vehicle. He was able to do so but not before being shot in the chest. The vehicle continued on as the victim ran through backyards and over fences until he reached the rear patio of 9 Andover Avenue. He banged on the door and the homeowners, hearing the noise, called 911. Upon police arrival he was transported to South Nassau Communities Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced at 10:45 A.M. The identity of the victim has not been released as of this posting.
The vehicle is described as a black 2004 Infinity New York registration DYM2184.
The first subject is described as a black male, 5’6”, mid 20’s, brown skin, black hair, corn rows, mustache and goatee, thick eyebrows wearing a black tee shirt and red shorts, armed with a small handgun.
The second subject is described as a black male, 6’2”, mid 20’s, dark complexion, thin build, clean shaven wearing a black doo rag, dark baggy jeans and armed with a handgun. The subject was either wearing a red and white shirt or two layered shirts, one white, the other red.
The investigation is continuing.
Detectives request anyone with information about this incident to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.

Can someone please define these terms “corn rows”, and “black doo rag”?
Perhaps there might be some who could help to recognize the perpetrators if they understood the description of what to look for.
Who doesn’t know what corn rows and doo rags are?
“Corn rows” is when the hair is braided against the scalp either half way or all the way down till the neck and a “black doo rag” is similar to a black tight snood. Hope that is helpful.
Cornrows are a hairstyle where all the hair is put into tight braids against the head. A do-rag is a lycra piece of material that black men like to wear on their heads.
This is why homeowners need guns to save their own lives with.
The criminals get all the guns they want but the law abiding citizen has all kinds of unconstitutional laws restricting THEM.
does anyone know if they were jewish, i know the identity has not been released, but just wondering if anyone knows, since this is a predominantly jewish neighborhood!!
1, you are not allowed to ask such questions or make comments about them. just ask don imus.
Was MISASKIM called? (that should answer question of #6) and yes #7 you are right. What difference does it make what nationality/religion this is still a creation of RS”O
