Downtown Riverhead

A 19-year-old male was shot twice in the back while walking home on East Avenue late Friday night. Riverhead police are searching for two gunmen, described by the victim as Hispanic males. The victim was taken to Stony Brook University Hospital for surgery.

The Riverhead Project's owner surrendered the restaurant to his landlord three days before abruptly closing its doors Sept. 6 to settle an eviction proceeding brought for nonpayment of rent.
