Bellport, New York — Two shot at LIRR station; three teens charged with attempted murder
Three teenagers were charged with attempted murder after a shooting at the Bellport LIRR station in Suffolk County early on October 9, 2026. Prosecutors say Jahmez Cureton, 19, of Wyandanch, opened fire on a man the group believed was a rival gang member as he stepped off an eastbound train around 2:25 a.m.; the intended target was hit in the shoulder and an innocent bystander was also struck, and both survived with non-life-threatening injuries. Cureton was arrested on October 13 and indicted on second-degree attempted murder; Javar Baskerville, 18, was arrested on October 28 and a 17-year-old was arrested on October 29, and all three were held after arraignment.
