I asked the NYPD:

Can you provide more details regarding the recovery of loaded gun and contraband?
What were the circumstances involved in the recovery?
Were there any arrests,
Where was the gun found,
Was it used in any crime?
Any other info?

An NYPD spokesperson replied:

All of these questions that you have asked are still pending and under investigation....

Will update when more info received from NYPD or Roosevelt Island Operating Corp.

During the September 20 Roosevelt Island Emergency Preparedness Town Hall Meeting, NYPD 114 Precinct Officer Keith Matthes described working with the Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department.



NYPD 114 Precinct Commander Deputy Inspector Osvaldo Nunes spoke to the Roosevelt Island community following the waterfront promenade gunshot incident this summer. Here's what he had to say.

UPDATE 6:30 PM - The NYPD Spokesperson adds:

In regards to the 2 search warrants executed early this morning, they were executed at 540 Main Street and 625 Main Street. Although still under investigation and pending ballistic analysis, we recovered a firearm that is believed to have been used in the shots fired over the East River, which struck a high rise building on the Upper East Side back in August. At least 10 rounds of ammunition, marijuana and narcotics paraphernalia were also recovered.

The search warrants are a result of new intelligence recently obtained.

We arrested Farris Karoma on new gun charges. His charges for the reckless endangerment/shots fired case is still open.
