Currently, there has been no arrest made in connection to the shooting. Collins himself is actually out on bail after he was arrested in a separate shooting back in May. That shooting took place at a popular Manhattan concert venue and resulted in one fatality. Collins plead not guilty to the attempted murder charges. He was also shot during that incident as well.
Currently, the shooting that occurred on Sunday night near Canarsie at East 91st street is still under investigation. Collin’s lawyer said that “he will survive the second attempt on his life” and askes for prayers for a speedy recovery.
Collins was on his way to see his family for the holiday. Luckily, the shooting wasn’t fatal.
