Pharmacy Massacre- Lesly Mejia, who lost her sister to a gunman’s deadly rampage at a Long Island, N.Y., pharmacy, tearfully tells TODAY that 17-year old Jennifer Mejia “loved working there” — even filling Sunday shifts against her family’s wishes.Newsday reported on Monday that the camera captured images of the suspect: a man in his late 20s or early 30s, about 5-foot-8 with a thin build. He has dark hair, was unshaven or has a dark beard and mustache.
Police rushed to the scene after getting a 911 call from someone in the pharmacy’s parking lot. When they arrived, they found two employees and two customers dead, said Suffolk County Police Department’s Chief of Detectives Dominick Varrone.
Suffolk County Police identified the dead employees as Raymond Ferguson, 45, of Centereach, and Jennifer Mejia, 17, of East Patchogue. Bryon Sheffield, 71, of Medford, and Jamie Taccetta, a 33-year-old woman from Farmingville, were identified as the two customers.
Jennifer Mejia worked part-time at the pharmacy while attending Bellport High School, where she was finishing her senior year, said her father, Rene Mejia.
The man was armed with a handgun, stole prescription drugs and killed everyone in the shop — including a 17-year-old girl who was to graduate from high school this week — before fleeing with a black backpack.
The shootings happened at about 10:20 a.m. inside the pharmacy in a small cluster of medical offices in Medford, a middle-class hamlet on Long Island about 60 miles east of New York City.
