Police were called at about 6:30 p.m. Monday for a possible domestic disturbance in the 800 block of Westminster Lane, according to a news release. The block consists of town homes and is located off North Great Neck Road. Online records indicate that Wysong lives there.
When police arrived, they found a woman who had been shot. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Wysong fled the area, but was arrested a short time later, the release said. He's being held without bond in the city jail.
Police have not yet identified the victim but said she is someone known to Wysong. A neighbor who lives next to the townhouse where the shooting occurred said a couple with five children lived there, but she didn't know them well.
