Newburgh, NY House Party Fatal Shooting; Teen Recovering After Shooting at Large House Party in Town of Newburgh, NY

A 17-year-old boy is recovering after being shot during a house party that drew as many as 100 people early Tuesday morning.

The incident occurred at a home on Carter Avenue, where police say chaos erupted shortly after midnight. Viewer video captured officers with guns drawn as they swarmed the street, ultimately taking a suspect into custody. Police also deployed a drone to search the area from above.

According to authorities, the teen victim underwent surgery at St. Luke’s and is now in stable condition.

Neighbors described the scene as unprecedented for the typically quiet neighborhood.
“My husband was awake, and he said he saw all the cops come out and the kids running… but it’s crazy. “This is a quiet place,” said resident Daisy Flores. Another neighbor recalled the street suddenly lighting up with flashing police lights.

“I looked out, and there was a bunch of police cars down here. A statey down there and three or four cop cars up there,” he said.

Several residents reported seeing partygoers fleeing the home, hiding behind trees, and cutting through nearby yards.

Uniformed officers remained on site for several hours, with a plainclothes investigator later canvassing the area, speaking to neighbors, and knocking on doors. Police say there is no ongoing threat to public safety.

Officials have identified the suspect as 18-year-old Keiyi S. Bascus, of New Windsor. He faces three counts of burglary and attempted grand larceny and is being held for arraignment.

The shooting remains under investigation. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Town of Newburgh Police Department at 845-564-1100.
