Felix Santiago, 42, was fatally shot in the abdomen just before 10:30 p.m. on August 31, 2025, near 27 Ludlow Street in Yonkers. Emergency responders transported him to a local hospital, where he later died.

Police say the shooting grew out of an ongoing dispute involving a member of Santiago’s family. Investigators describe the attack as targeted: an assailant walked past Santiago and fired about three shots, one striking him fatally. The suspect fled but was located within 15 minutes, a few blocks away, after officers used security camera footage from the Yonkers Police AWARE Crime Control Center to track movements.

The person arrested was identified as 26-year-old Linzell Staggers of Yonkers. At arrest Staggers was carrying a 9mm handgun with an extended 30-round magazine and has been charged with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon. The Westchester County District Attorney’s Office is handling the case.
