Man charged in fatal shooting outside Syracuse store
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Police in Syracuse say they've charged a 24-year-old man with fatally shooting another man outside a store in city street last weekend.
Officials say Ali Muhammad, of Syracuse, was charged Wednesday with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon in the slaying of 19-year-old Dunier Chestnut.
Police say Chestnut was shot as he left a convenience store Sunday afternoon. He later died at a hospital.
Officials say witnesses reported seeing Muhammad running down the street after the shooting.
A motive for the shooting wasn't immediately clear. Police say Muhammad was on parole for an earlier crime.
He's being held in the Onondaga County Justice Center.
