McNair
YONKERS – A Yonkers man has been arrested and charged with trying to kill the same 29-year-old man on two different occasions this month.
James McNair, 23, has been charged with two counts of attempted murder and was remanded to the Westchester County jail without bail. Police said the two men knew each other and a dispute escalated to violence.
City Police said that on Sunday afternoon, January 14, McNair allegedly aimed a loaded gun at the victim and fired it three times directly at him at close range. The victim was not injured during that incident.
One week later, on Saturday, January 20, McNair allegedly aimed a loaded gun at the same man and fired once directly at him at close range striking him and causing serious injury to his back and leg.
McNair was arrested on Tuesday, January 23 following an intensive investigation.
