Chistopher Husbands surrendered to police at 52 division early Monday morning. Det. Sgt. Brian Borg, of the homicide squad, said Mr. Husbands was under house arrest that forbade him from leaving his house at the time of the incident.

The 23-year-old will be charged with one count of first degree murder and six counts of attempted murder this afternoon, but investigators do not believe the shooting to be gang-related.

Although the alleged shooter, the deceased man and another shooting victim man are believed to belong to the same street gang, police believe “personal aspects” are involved.

“There is no evidence of this being gang-related,” said Det. Sgt. Borg, the lead investigator. “I think they just came across each other, unfortunately in a very bad location.”
