Gunman Who Shot Bystander Walking Dog In Harlem Arrested: Police

HARLEM, NY — A gunman is facing murder charges for shooting a bystander who was walking his dog in Harlem, police said.

Ozjheir McClain, 19, was arrested Monday night and charged with murder for the death of 40-year-old Winston McKay, police said. McKay was walking his dog on the morning of June 10 when he was hit in the leg by a stray bullet, said police.

Medics responding to the scene of the shooting rushed McKay to Harlem Hospital, but were not able to save the bystander, police said.

Investigators released photos from surveillance footage taken at a building on the same street of the shooting that show the alleged gunman point a rifle and open fire. Police said McClain was involved in a dispute with another man in which he threatened to shoot him.

When the man ignored McClain's threats and walked away from him, the gunman fired one shot, police said. That shot missed its target and struck McKay, police said.
