Long Island teen tied to shooting outside Lee Zeldin’s house held on $1M bail

A Long Island man tied to a gang-style shooting outside Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin’s home last month was ordered held on $1 million bail on felony gun charges Monday.

Noah Green, 18, was arraigned on the seven-count indictment stemming from the Oct. 9 shooting that saw one slug come within 30 feet of Zeldin’s twin daughters, who were inside the house doing their homework.

Green has not been charged with pulling the trigger, but was allegedly nabbed with the 9mm handgun used in the shooting, which authorities said appeared to be gang-related.

He’s accused of reaching in his pants pocket for the gun when cops caught up with him, Suffolk County prosecutor Vanessa McEvoy said in court.

“This pistol was loaded with a high-capacity magazine,” McEvoy told Judge Karen Wilutis.

Green’s defense attorney, Christopher Cassar, asked for bail to be set at $25,000, but Wilutis went much higher, setting it at $1 million cash, $2 million insurance bond, or a partially secured $10 million bond.

Outside the Suffolk County Courthouse, Cassar said his client was not involved in a gang and noted he had no prior criminal record.

“He denies that he was reaching for a gun,” Cassar said of Green. “Hopefully, the police were wearing bodycams and we will be able to review that.”

The lawyer called the hefty bail “unconstitutionally excessive,” and said the $25,000 he requested is usually what prosecutors ask for in similar cases — suggesting the case had become politicized on the eve of Zeldin’s bid for governor.

“There seems to be [an] expedited process here,” Cassar said. “They claim that they’ve done ballistic analysis before the arraignment on the indictment, which is also very unusual. The timing of this is questionable.”

Asked if he thought the bail amount was politically motivated, the lawyer said, “certainly there is some reason to be concerned,” and nodded.

The broad-daylight shooting came as Zeldin and his wife were headed to a Columbus Day parade in the Bronx when bullets began to fly outside the Shirley home.

Two teenagers were wounded in the gunplay and ended up outside the congressman’s home while his 17-year-old daughters sought shelter and called 911 inside.

Police later caught up with a black Honda that allegedly left the scene and busted Green.

Just days before his arrest, Green had posted a photo on Snapchat that shows him and another person pointing a handgun at the camera, authorities said.

“Forensic investigations revealed the defendant’s fingerprints present on the fully loaded magazine inside,” McEvoy said in court Monday. “Microscopic examination was able to match the bullets lodged in the windshield of the car at the scene to the pistol in the defendant’s possession.”

Green was indicted on two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, third-degree possession of a gun, criminal possession of a gun, criminal mischief, unauthorized use of a vehicle and resisting arrest.

“A grand jury has found reasonable evidence to indict the defendant on all seven counts,” the judge said when setting bail. “The felony is a qualifying charge. He is a flight risk. The charges are serious. He faces a serious sentence with the maximum of 15 years.”
