The vehicle belonging to a Queens man accused of shooting at two former employees was discovered on Thursday, although authorities are still searching for the alleged shooter, the New York Daily News reported.
Sang Ho Kim, 63, entered his old work building on Wednesday morning in Garden City and shot at two former co-workers, killing one of them. He then fled the scene in his white 2008 Honda Pilot, which was located by police in Sandy Beach Park.
The owner of Kim's old employer, Savenergy, was in surgery at Nassau University Medical Center according to Nassau County Police Chief Steve Skrynecki.
"There was some disgruntlement between him and the company that he was attacking," said Skrynecki, who declined to release names of the victims.
"It seems to be over some bad business deal or some issue with a business deal that they were involved in."
Kim is from Fresh Meadows and is described as 6 feet, 2 inches tall and last seen wearing a red shirt and brown jacket. Police said the shooting was an act of revenge and believe Kim used a handgun in the attack.
Following reports of the shooting, the Roosevelt Field Mall -- across the street from Savenergy -- was placed on lockdown and local schools were placed on lockout, meaning no one could exit or enter the school campuses. Students were released at normal times, according to Cindy Morris of the Garden City superintendent's office.
Skrynecki said it was not likely Kim was looking to harm any people outside of Savenergy.
"There is no suggestion that the perpetrator is looking for other people to shoot," he said. "We have nothing to suggest this individual is on a random shooting rampage."
However, the police chief warned of Kim being armed and dangerous.
Since Garden City is 30 miles east of New York City, the New York Police Department is on alert for Kim, should he go back to him home in Queens.
