Second-degree manslaughter and a weapons count are the charges. Police say the shot was accidental. That account is not a verdict.
Nassau County police were called at 12:01 a.m. Saturday to the area of 459 South Broadway in Hicksville. Eighth Precinct officers found a 24-year-old man in a vehicle with a gunshot wound to his back. A police ambulance took him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police have not released his name.
Detectives say Mohammed Basheer Ahmed, 27, was in the vehicle and accidentally fired his pistol. He was arrested without further incident. He is charged with second-degree manslaughter and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon. He is due to be arraigned Sunday at First District Court in Hempstead.
All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
