The Daily News noted that two victims were listed in stable condition at Elmhurst Hospital and another was treated at Kings County Hospital. Police told the outlet they had not made any arrests as of Sunday.
"All four victims are expected to recover," police told the New York Daily News. The outlet reported that the shooting took place at Amadeus on Albion Avenue near Queens Boulevard. Officials had not immediately released a suspect description or possible motive, according to the same report.
Club's Recent Run of Violence
Amadeus has been linked to several earlier shootings. In May 2025, three people were wounded in a shooting connected to the club, as detailed by amNewYork. A January 2023 shooting left a 19-year-old dead, according to reporting from FOX 5 NY. Those incidents drew criticism from neighbors and scrutiny from local boards, which questioned how much trouble one nightclub could generate before someone stepped in.
Community Board Flagged Problems
According to Queens Community Board 4 meeting minutes, members described Amadeus as having a "very bad history" and raised concerns about occupancy levels and prior enforcement actions when the club sought to alter its liquor license. The record notes that NYPD representatives discussed those past incidents and still backed the club's application, a move that underscored long-running unease among some residents.
What Officials Say and What Comes Next
As of Sunday, police said they had not made any arrests and that the investigation into the latest shooting was ongoing. Authorities typically urge anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS or reach out through the NYPD tipline, and investigators often lean on surveillance footage and hospital reports as they work the case. Hoodline will update this story if officials or representatives for Amadeus release additional details.
