Ross Reisner, 50, was killed in his Long Island home Tuesday evening.



A bullet fired through a window hit and killed a prominent member of Long Island’s equestrian community, Suffolk County authorities said Wednesday.


Ross Reisner, 50, was found shot in the chest inside a Upper Sheep Pasture Road home in Setauket at about 8:45 p.m. Tuesday, police said.


He was transported to Stony Brook University Hospital where he died, officials said.


A witness told investigators that shots were fired through the window. No arrests had been made as of Wedneday morning.

Reisner rode in horse shows and trained riders at a horse farm in Mattituck, friends told CBS News.


“He’s very involved,” Hamptons Classic executive director Shanette Barth Cohen told 1010 WINS. “He was very well-liked and it’s a real shock and sad for the whole Long Island equestrian community.”


Reisner’s business partner, Bobby Ginsberg, added: “He loved to teach and loved to ride. He’s a very likeable person. It’s just unbelievable to me that anyone would harm him.”


Investigators are asking anyone with information on this shooting to come forward.


Calls can be made to the Suffolk County Homicide Squad at 631-852-6392 or anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
