Update: Cornell emergency notification alerted students early Tuesday morning of a shooting that occurred at 301 Maple Avenue. The location is nearly a mile east of the intersection of Dryden and College, above apartment complexes that house many Cornell employees and graduate students.
Six Cornell and Ithaca Police vehicles were parked outside the apartment complex just past Maplewood Community Center as police patrolled the area. Around fifteen police officers were stationed in various locations throughout the apartment complex guiding passersby through alternative paths around houses and out of the main area.
University and Ithaca police informed Review reporters that advanced paramedics were on the scene by around 3:30. In a second emergency notification, the University told students officials were investigating a shooting that occurred at about 2:15 a.m. Police do not have a description of the suspect at the time.
Final Update: The Ithaca Journal reported this morning that Police found the body of Paul Garcia, 47, shot and dead, in the Maple Ave apartment’s parking lot. He was from New York City, in town visiting friends.
