BAY SHORE, NY – On Long Island, a 19-year-old was fatally shot while attending a party with friends. Sean Mills was identified as the deceased victim of the devastating shooting. The gunfire erupted on Friday on Ackerson Boulevard in Bay Shore. According to reports from Sean’s family, he went to a house party where he was shot in the head shortly after arriving.

Apart from Sean, a 17-year-old girl also sustained gunshot wounds but is in non-life-threatening condition, as per Suffolk County Police. No arrests have been made in connection with the incident yet.
James, the victim’s brother, expressed disbelief about how certain people can freely engage in such egregious acts, referring to the unidentified shooter(s).
