Arrests In LaGuardia Airport Shooting

Police have arrested four men in connection with Monday night's shooting of a man found at LaGuardia Airport. The victim, who is in stable condition, was discovered in the taxi holding area between Terminals C and D. According to NY1, "The suspects picked up Cedric Click, 26, of Las Vegas Monday night at the LaGuardia Marriott in Rodriguez's 2008 silver Pathfinder. Once Click entered the car, the suspects allegedly stole $700 in cash, jewelry and other personal items from him. Click was then shot once in the chest when he tried to escape, according to officials." And the whole incident may stem from...drugs. The suspects—three Brooklyn residents and one from Queens— were charged with "second degree attempted murder, first degree assault, criminal possession of a weapon, first degree robbery and criminal use of a firearm." more ›
