New York: In a shocking case of gang violence, 20-year-old Noah Green from New York has admitted to a shooting incident that took place outside the Long Island home of former Congressman Lee Zeldin in October 2022. The shooting occurred as Zeldin’s teenage daughters were inside the house doing homework, marking a terrifying moment for the family. Green’s guilty plea includes charges of attempted murder, conspiracy, and other crimes, underscoring the persistent issue of gang violence in Suffolk County.
The Day of the Shooting
On October 9, 2022, Noah Green, a member of the “No Fake Love” (NFL) gang, left his home with another individual in a stolen 2022 Honda CRV. As they drove past Zeldin’s residence, they encountered three rival gang members walking nearby. Without hesitation, Green opened fire from the vehicle, striking two teenagers in the chest. Miraculously, both victims survived the attack.
At the time of the shooting, Zeldin, who was running for New York governor, and his wife were not home. However, their 16-year-old twin daughters were inside the house, doing homework in the kitchen. As bullets flew outside, the girls quickly ran upstairs, locked themselves in a bathroom, and called 911. Though they were not physically harmed, the emotional trauma was undeniable. Zeldin later expressed his anger and frustration, saying, “You can’t get me more outraged than right now,” as he stood in front of crime scene tape at his own home.
A Swift Investigation and Arrest
Thanks to a newly established gang bureau within the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office, Green’s case was solved swiftly. Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney emphasized the importance of prioritizing gang-related violence, stating, “This guilty plea with a promised twelve-year sentence should send the message that we will not tolerate gang violence in Suffolk County.”
Green was apprehended on October 31, 2022, after police spotted him leaving his house and getting into the same stolen CRV used in the shooting. A brief foot chase ensued, during which Green leaped onto the hood and roof of a police vehicle in an attempt to evade arrest. When authorities caught him, they found a loaded Taurus 9mm pistol with a high-capacity magazine, the weapon used in the shooting. Additionally, police discovered shell casings from the shooting lodged between the windshield and hood of the CRV.
A Violent Gang and Social Media Boasting
Following his arrest, authorities uncovered a disturbing trend in Green’s behavior. After the shooting, he boasted about the incident on social media, posting pictures and videos of himself and fellow gang members flaunting weapons, and stolen vehicles, and taunting their rivals. Green was one of 18 members of the NFL gang indicted in December 2022. The gang, affiliated with both the Crips and Bloods, was involved in numerous crimes, including shootings, armed robberies, and even the theft of French bulldogs.
Known for their ruthless behavior, gang members referred to themselves as “Everybody Killers,” targeting not only rival gang members but also innocent civilians. The indictment revealed the gang’s widespread criminal activity across Long Island.
Sentencing and Consequences
Green’s guilty plea comes with a 12-year prison sentence, which is set to be officially delivered on October 15, 2023. This case serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of gang violence and its far-reaching impact on both its victims and innocent bystanders. As Zeldin’s family tries to move forward from this traumatic event, law enforcement remains committed to cracking down on gang-related crimes across the county.
