Queens detectives are investigating a shooting near a nightclub early on Saturday morning that left a young woman wounded.
Police said the gun violence erupted at about 6:20 a.m. on March 9 in front of the Epic Lounge at 122-01 Rockaway Blvd. in South Ozone Park.
According to law enforcement sources, the victim, a 23-year-old woman, took a bullet to her left leg, and sought treatment via private means at Kings County Hospital — located about 10 miles away from the lounge. She is listed in stable condition.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting, however, remains unknown and under investigation. Police have yet to identify a possible motive, or the suspect who pulled the trigger. So far, no arrests have been made in the case.
