Gunmen carjack BMW driver on Long Island Expressway: ‘I made a run for it'
QUEENS, N.Y. (PIX11) — A man was carjacked by three masked gunmen on the Long Island Expressway early Friday morning while on his way home from a night out, according to police and the victim. The man, 33, was driving a late-model BMW eastbound on the LIE when he was rear-ended by a Porsche on the LIE near Exit 31S at around 3:45 a.m., according to the NYPD. More Local News Police believe the fender bender was a setup to get the man out of the white luxury vehicle. 'As I'm looking at the damage, three guys with masks come over with loaded guns and say, 'Give me everything you got,'' the BMW driver told PIX11 News on Friday. After the collision, the victim said his first instinct was to pull over to check his car, and that's when three armed men jumped out of the Porsche, according to the victim and police. Police said two shots were fired in the air, but nobody was hit. The suspects also ripped a gold chain off the man's neck, he said. The suspects then drove off with the BMW and the Porsche, police said. 'I made a run for it. I ran down the LIE and they took the car,' said the driver, whose identity is being concealed. There have been no arrests. The investigation is ongoing.

Deion Sanders denies viral quote about Shedeur preferring New York
Deion Sanders denies viral quote about Shedeur preferring New York Deion Sanders at the ProMat 2025 'We are hoping for New York' Shedeur wants to be a Giant? — Marshall Green (@MarshallGreen_) March 24, 2025 Deion Sanders, the father of Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, went viral on Tuesday for a quote that he has since denied. While appearing at the 2025 ProMat biennial trade fair and conference in Chicago, Sanders was alleged to have tipped his hand on Shedeur's draft day preference. "THIS IS A LIE! We're thankful for whatever God chooses for them," Sanders wrote in an Instagram reply. Those in attendance at the event were prohibited from filming, which was revealed after Sanders' denial. The original reporter stood behind his source, who quickly made his X account private. Sanders also addressed the situation on X. A lie don't care who tells it. It just tries its best to outrun the Truth. #CoachPrime — COACH PRIME (@DeionSanders) March 25, 2025 Sanders has been very vocal about his willingness to intervene in Shedeur's potential destination, implying repeatedly that there are blacklisted teams atop the 2025 NFL draft. However, the New York Giants have never appeared to be one of those, with Deion even suggesting he knew for a "fact" general manager Joe Schoen would keep the No. 3 overall pick and likely target his son. Shedeur, meanwhile, has developed a strong relationship with the head coach Brian Daboll and the Giants as a whole. With a month until April's draft, most mocks now project Shedeur to the Giants with that No. 3 overall pick. If selected, he would join a quarterback room consisting of Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Tommy DeVito.
