Witnesses say the shooting of a man in Yonkers Saturday evening may have been in retaliation for another shooting that happened last August.

The man was shot at the corner of Cortlandt Park and Spruce Street in the Nodine section of Yonkers.

Neighbors are being tight-lipped, but one woman told News 12 that the shooting may have been in retaliation for a fatal shooting of a 19-year-old last August.

Elias Flores was fatally shot on Aug. 10 outside of his apartment building. Neighbors believe it was Flores' brother who was shot on Saturday night.

Sheppard Ahdegee was arrested in March in connection to the August shooting.  He was arrested after leaving the country and being tracked by federal agents.

News 12 has learned that the man shot on Saturday is expected to survive.
