In August, a 23 year old man was shot at a park in South Floral Park near Tennessee Avenue and Marguerite Avenue. Nassau County Police did not release the name of the victim, but did state that he was taken to a nearby hospital where he was treated for gun wounds to his lower body. The shooters were recently apprehended in Brooklyn, NY. Derek Gaines, 28 year old who resides at 144-30 168th St. Jamaica NY, and Melissa Gaskin, a 23 year old who resides at 737 Westminster Rd Brooklyn NY, were sitting in a parked car on Avenue U in Brooklyn, NY when Fifth Squad Detectives found and arrested the pair. Reports indicate that the victim and Gaskin were involved in a verbal altercation when the fight started. Gaines allegedly exited the car and started to shoot the victim.
