Arrest Made More Than 1 Year Later in Fatal Long Island Shooting

Police say they have made an arrest in the shooting death of a man outside a Long Island bar more than a year ago.

Jhamek Daniels, 23, is charged in the January 2014 shooting that killed 25-year-old Jean Yves and wounded Javonne Mimms outside the Night Owl Lounge in Deer Park, according to police.

Authorities said three people inside a white Cadillac pulled into the bar’s parking lot when two people standing in a group outside fired several shots at the car. Yves and Mimms, who were both in the car, were taken to the hospital, where Yves was pronounced dead.

Daniels is charged with second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder. It was not immediately clear if he has an attorney.
