This serves as an update to our initial post from last night regarding the ongoing investigation.

On October 30, 2025, at approximately 6:20 PM, the Haverstraw Police Department received reports of shots fired in the area of the Mobil Gas Station on Route 202 in Garnerville.

Responding officers quickly located a male subject, identified as Capernicus Yodweyone (28), of Garnerville, NY, in the parking lot of the Foremost Shopping Center, standing near a vehicle in close proximity to a shotgun.

The investigation determined that the subject, while standing outside his vehicle, fired multiple shotgun rounds directly into the unoccupied vehicle he had been operating. Officers immediately took the subject into custody at the scene and transported him to the Haverstraw Police Department. The weapon was safely recovered.

The defendant has been charged with Reckless Endangerment in the First Degree, a Class D Felony, and remains in custody pending arraignment.

It should be noted that a criminal complaint is merely an accusation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
