STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A recent parolee is accused of firing a half dozen bullets into another man's chest in Concord over the weekend.
The shooting took place down the block from the Sangita Shala night club at 556 Richmond Road about 4 a.m. Saturday, authorities said, and left a man -- identified by sources as Darnell Brown, 33 -- wounded, though not fatally. That club saw a gun-related incident back in February, according to police.
Police arrested the alleged shooter, Jeryl Grant, 37, of the 100 block of St. Mark's Place in St. George, Wednesday. He's charged with second-degree attempted murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, according to information from District Attorney Daniel Donovan's office.
Grant gave detectives an account of what happened, according to a law enforcement source: He said he parked his truck behind the night club, which he referred to as "Fires," then headed to a birthday party at Edgewater Hall on Bay Street in Stapleton.
Grant got a ride back to his truck sometime between 3 and 3:30 a.m., and found people hanging around it.
"What's up?" he asked, and got a response from someone, presumably Brown, saying "What the (expletive)'s up with you?"
"And next thing you know there's a shooting. At least that's what he told investigators," the source said.
Court papers place the shooting as outside of 560 Richmond Rd. - the El Pollo restaurant, which closes at 11 p.m. on weekends.
Grant has served two stints in state prison, according to public records - a three-year sentence for a 2003 weapon possession conviction, and a four-year sentence for a 2007 attempted weapon possession conviction.
He was released in February 2012, and will remain on parole until Oct. 3, 2015, according to state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision spokeswoman.
Earlier this year, the Sangita Shala night club served as the backdrop for another gun-related crime, according to authorities. On Feb. 23, police said, a convicted drug dealer took a bloody beating outside of the club, then retaliated by waving the gun over his head inside the club.
