Frederick Jackson, 37, killed in Wyandanch party shooting, police say

Suffolk County police are investigating the fatal shooting of a man found early Sunday in Wyandanch.

First Precinct officers responded about 1 a.m. Sunday to a 911 call from a neighborhood party on East Booker Avenue reporting a man shot at the residence, according to police.

When they arrived, police said, the officers discovered Frederick Jackson, 37, in the backyard with a gunshot wound. 

Jackson was transported to Good Samaritan University Hospital in West Islip and pronounced dead, according to police. He lived in Wyandanch, but not at the party address.

No arrests have been made in connection with Jackson's death, police said.

A police spokesperson declined to share details of what partygoers told investigators about the circumstances behind the shooting. The party had around 50 guests, according to police.
