On April 27th, 2022 at about 11:00pm, New Rochelle Police responded to the parking lot of 600 Davenport Avenue, the V.I.P. County Club, on a report of a stabbing. New Rochelle Police located two victims, one with a laceration to his back and the other who was stabbed in the abdomen. They were both transported to a local hospital for treatment. The stabbing victim was taken into surgery and is currently listed as being in critical condition. The victim who was slashed on the back was treated and released. New Rochelle Police located and arrested the suspect at the dead end of Davenport Avenue without further incident.
The suspect and the victims were all working as valets at the V.I.P Club and this incident stemmed from a dispute between the two victims and the suspect. The names of the victims are being withheld at this time.
Elijah Santiago, 25 years of age, of New York, NY, was arrested. The other name of the injured party was not released.
The club says it subcontracts out the work to the valet company and that the injured people were not club employees. Anyone who has lived in Westchester for most of their lives has been to the VIP club for a wedding, prom, political function or other party.
For those living in New Rochelle, the club also has a poll and summer swimming for members.
