$10K Reward Offered After Shooting Leaves Bayside Girl Paralyzed: Cops

BAYSIDE, NY — Nearly three months after a teen girl was caught in the crossfires of a Queens shooting and left paralyzed, police announced Tuesday a $10,000 reward for anyone who can help solve the case.

CrimeStoppers will give up to $3,500 and the NYPD is offering $6,500 for the arrest and conviction of those involved in the Fresh Meadows shooting on April 27 that left 14-year-old Kaitlyn Lau paralyzed, police said.

Police made this announcement with a true crime-styled video posted to Twitter Tuesday.

"A fourteen year girl was hit in the neck, she remains paralyzed," an NYPD representative says, eerie music playing in the background.

"We need the community's help in identifying the individuals involved."

Kaitlyn was on her way from Farm Playground to get pizza with two friends, both 18, when four unidentified men jumped out of two BMWs, police said.

The men began arguing with Lau and her friends, then one of them pulled out a gun and started to shoot, said police.

Kaitlyn was shot in the neck, one friends was shot in the leg and another in the torso, police said.

The men then sped off in a gray sedan driving north on 188th Street, abandoning the second car which detectives later found, according to the NYPD.

Kaitlyn’s friends were sent to New York Hospital Queens, while she was sent to Long Island Jewish Medical Center, according to authorities.

It was later discovered during a fundraiser, which was raising $82,000 for her medical expenses, that a bullet was lodged in her spinal cord and may leave her permanently paralyzed from the neck down, according to GoFundMe.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
