The driver of a vehicle used in a March 2021 shooting in Albany has been arrested, according to police.

The driver, who was 17 years old at the time of the incident, was arrested Friday following an investigat­ion by detectives with the police department’s Criminal Investigat­ion Unit.

The shooting occurred about 11:50 a.m. March 12, 2021. On that date, officers responded to Livingston Avenue just east of Judson Street for reports of a shooting where they found a 27-year-old man inside a vehicle with nonlife threatenin­g gunshot wounds to his shoulder and hand, police said. A woman sitting in the passenger seat was not injured.

Detectives determined that the suspects pulled their vehicle up alongside the victim’s vehicle on Livingston Avenue and fired several rounds from .40 caliber and .45 caliber handguns toward the victims.

The detectives also learned that the 17-yearold, whose name will not be released due his age, was driving the vehicle when his two passengers fired shots at the victims.

The driver has been charged with two counts of attempted murder for his role in the incident and was scheduled to be arraigned in Albany County Family Court.

Alvin Foy, 18, and Jahmere Manning, 19, both of Albany, were arrested by Albany detectives Aug. 9 for their part in the shooting.

Each was charged with two counts of attempted murder and one count of criminal possession of a weapon.

The pair also is accused in the May shooting death of Chyna Forney, a student at Albany Leadership Charter High School For Girls.
