Noah Green, 20, of Shirley, has pleaded guilty to attempted murder in the second degree, conspiracy in the second degree, and other related charges. The plea follows an incident on October 9, 2022, where Green shot at three individuals in front of former United States Congressman Lee Zeldin’s home. Two victims were struck in the chest but survived.
Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney announced the guilty plea today. "On my first day in office, we established a gang bureau to conduct comprehensive long-term investigations to keep the people of Suffolk County safe from gang violence," said Tierney. He added that this case was swiftly solved with the shooter held accountable along with other gang members involved in various dangerous crimes.
Court documents reveal that on October 9, 2022, Green left his home with another individual in a stolen 2022 Honda CRV. They encountered three rival gang members outside Congressman Zeldin's residence. Green fired multiple shots from the vehicle, hitting two individuals.
During the shooting incident, Zeldin’s daughters were inside their home doing homework. Following the event, Green boasted about it on social media and through electronic communications to fellow gang members.
On October 31, 2022, law enforcement observed Green leaving his residence and entering the stolen Honda CRV. When approached by officers, he attempted to flee and caused damage to a law enforcement vehicle before being apprehended. Officers recovered a loaded Taurus 9mm pistol from Green's pants pocket; forensic analysis confirmed it was used in the October 9th shooting.
Green pleaded guilty before Acting Supreme Court Justice Anthony S. Senft Jr., facing charges including:
- Three counts of Attempted Murder in the Second Degree
- Two counts of Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree
- One count of Conspiracy in the Second Degree
He is scheduled for sentencing on October 15, 2024, with an expected sentence of 12 years in prison followed by five years of post-release supervision. Chad LaVeglia represents him.
Assistant District Attorneys Martha Duffy and Donald Barclay are prosecuting this case as part of a broader investigation into the No Fake Love gang led by District Attorney Investigator Jean Graf and Detective Michael Yonelunas.
