We recently reported that there was a shooting on a busy street of the Upper West Side this past Friday night with very little detail to who the shooter and victims were. Today we have more on this story. See more below!

NBC New York reported that Victor Zambrano, a member of the New York State Bureau of Narcotics, drunkenly opened fire on an Upper West Side street. While NBC New York reported that Zambrano did not know the victims — 42 year-old Sydney Bernard-Whitehead and girlfriend, 31 year-old Nichola Davidson — the NY Daily News reported that the trio were “pals.”

The three pals had been drinking together and were walking on Amsterdam Ave. near W. 82nd St. when the woman asked the New York State Bureau of Narcotics enforcement agent for his pistol, a police source said.

Zambrano handed it over, but quickly demanded it back, cop sources said. As the argument became increasingly heated, the agent fired a round. The bullet ricocheted off the concrete and hit both the woman and her boyfriend.

Despite an injury to the ankle Whitehead chased down Zambrano who was soon to be surrounded by officers but not before he was able to open fire again. Zambrano was eventually subdued and arrested and charged with reckless endangerment, assault, and resisting arrest.

The New York Post reported that Zambrano’s neighbor said he had been excessively drinking the entire week.

“He’s been drinking everyday.”
