WPCNR POLICE GAZETTE. By John F. Bailey. May 23, 2006: Police today charged one person with possession of a weapon, as a result of their investigation of Monday's shooting-murder of Kevin Chambliss, 30, on Ferris Avenue, and the police are presently conducting ballistic tests on that weapon, White Plains Police Chief James Bradley reported today.

Chief James Bradley speaking to WPCNR moments ago provided the latest police findings in their investigation of the Monday afternoon shooting-murder on Ferris Avenue:

"As of 3:46 PM Monday, shots had been fired in the area of 73 Ferris Avenue. We got up there, we found the victim, Kevin Chambliss, 30. He was provided emergency care on the scene, taken directly to Westchester Medical Center. He unfortunately passed away at about 10 of 6. Based on some information we developed early in the investigation, we identified a car, a person that we wished to speak to. That person was stopped on the Bronx River Parkway (by Westchester County Police and Yonkers Police at Scarsdale Road), and brought back here to headquarters. He has not been charged in connection with the shooting, however he was charged with possession of a weapon. We have since continued the investigation. We are developing other leads. There are other people, witnesses we've been interviewing today, and this is ongoing as we speak."

WPCNR asked based on a televised interview cablecast last night in which a person interviewed gave the opinion the killing was a "Crip-Bloods" thing, if the police felt the killing was gang-related. Chief Bradley said, "We have no information that says that."

WPCNR asked Bradley if  Mr. Chambliss, the victim,  had gang markings on his body. Chief Bradley said he did not.

Asked if a person taken into custody late this afternoon was related Bradley said, "We have taken another person to headquarters about an hour ago who is a person we want to speak to about this, and no charges have been filed on that one at all yet."

Bradley confirmed the police brought a search dog in, related to the second person being questioned, but would not reveal why the search dog was brought in. "I can't do that right now. The investigation is still going on full speed as we speak."
