TROY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Troy Police arrested a Hempstead man on Wednesday after a longstanding shooting investigation. Jumar Tucker, 39, faces felony charges.
On May 29, 2024, while following up on reports of a shooting, police patrols found a man with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound near Sixth Avenue and Middleburgh Street. Emergency responders tended to the victim at the scene before he was treated at a local hospital.
During the ensuing investigation, Tucker was identified as a suspect through evidence analysis, resulting in an indictment being issued by a Rensselaer County grand jury. Troy Police took Tucker into custody at the Nassau County Jail on June 11, where he was being held on unrelated charges.
