Police arrest two more men in Hempstead shooting

Two more men have been arrested in connection with the shooting of a 16-year-old girl walking with friends on a Hempstead street in April.

Nassau County police said Marlon Douglas, 20, of 207 Wellesley St., Hempstead, and Todd Davis, 17, of 16 St. James Place, Rockville Centre, were arrested Thursday and charged with first-degree assault. Two Hempstead teens — Daniel Duke, 17, of 217 Amherst St., and Antoine Redfern, 16, of 177 Henry St. — were previously arrested in April.

Redfern was charged with two counts of first-degree assault, first-degree criminal use of a firearm, second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and first-degree reckless endangerment. Duke was charged with first-degree assault.

Both are due back in court Friday, while Davis and Douglas are scheduled for arraignment Friday in First District Court in Hempstead.

Police said the four were involved in the shooting incident, which occurred on April 25 at 1:20 a.m. on Baldwin Road.

It was then, police said, that the girl, who was walking northbound with several friends, was shot by a male who “appeared from behind a house and fired several rounds at them from an unknown type of weapon.” The girl was struck in the abdomen, police said, and was carried to the corner of East Marshall Street — where her friends called 911.

She was taken to a local hospital and admitted in serious condition. Details of her recovery were not known Friday.
