Fugitive accused of shooting from car sunroof caught, accomplice also faces charges

State police have arrested a suspect accused of shooting a man in the back with a .22-caliber rifle from the sunroof of his vehicle.

Aquiles Conde-Shenery, 32, of Hazleton, was located Thursday morning. Conde-Shenery had been wanted on attempted homicide and related charges for an alleged shooting which occurred Tuesday evening outside a home on Donald Road in Chestnuthill Township.

State Police at Fern Ridge said in a news release that Conde-Shenery was spotted walking along Toll Road around 10:45 a.m., and taken into custody without incident.

31-year-old Apheraddyttie Ezzmerrelda Henneborn, of Chestnuthill Township, was arrested on Wednesday afternoon and charged with attempted homicide. Police say Henneborn drove Conde-Shenery to the Donald Road address and provided him with the weapon used in the shooting.

According to court documents, Read’s girlfriend, Amy Burns, contacted police at 6:45 p.m. Tuesday to report that her boyfriend had been shot by Conde-Shenery.

Read spoke to police as he was being treated on scene. He said that before the shooting, Conde-Shenery had contacted him asking Read to send Conde-Shenery a verification code related to Read’s personal Google account.

Read said Conde-Shenery then arrived at the Donald Road address in a dark-colored Honda CRV and text messaged him that he was outside.

Read came outside, at which point Conde-Shenery emerged from the sunroof of the vehicle pointing a .22-caliber rifle at Read, demanding that Read give him the verification code. Burns told Conde-Shenery to leave, which he refused.

Read said he turned to walk back into the home when he was shot in the back. Burns said she heard Read yell “he shot me.”

He was ultimately transported to Lehigh Valley Hospital-Pocono with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police said they found a .22-caliber cartridge and another spent cartridge outside the home.

The rifle was recovered early Wednesday afternoon at a home on Parish Park in Chestnuthill Township. A man identified as Henneborn’s ex-fiancee said Henneborn came to his home about an hour after the shooting and asked him to hold a .22-caliber rifle for her. He contacted police Wednesday morning after seeing media coverage of the shooting.

After leaving the fiancee’s house, troopers traveled to Henneborn’s Bayberry Road address and interviewed a man and woman who were at the home Tuesday night, and heard Conde-Shenery and Henneborn discussing plans to shoot Read. They said the pair then left in the SUV and returned about 15 minutes later.

Henneborn was interviewed Wednesday afternoon. She told police that she had driven Conde-Shenery around the block between 6-7 p.m. She was placed under arrest.

The suspects’ vehicle was found at another address in Chestnuthill Township. A resident of that address told police that around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Henneborn and Conde-Shenery asked to leave the CRV at her home because she had too many vehicles on her property.

Henneborn and Conde-Shenery were both arraigned on Thursday, denied bail, and sent to Monroe County Correctional Facility.

Their preliminary hearings have been tentatively scheduled for Jan. 19.
