#152 — New York man charged with murder after allegedly shooting infant daughter with a crossbow

A New York man was arrested and charged with murder after allegedly 
shooting his 3-week-old infant daughter with a crossbow Monday morning, 
according to the Broome County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies responded to a home in Colesville at around 5:14 a.m. following 
reports that an infant and a woman had been shot with a crossbow.

According to a preliminary investigation, Patrick D. Proefriedt, 26, had 
allegedly gotten into an argument with his wife and fired a bolt at her 
while she was holding their 3-week-old daughter, according to a news 
release from the sheriff’s office.

The broadhead bolt hit the baby in the upper torso and exited near her 
armpit before hitting her mother in the chest.

“Proefriedt allegedly removed the bolt and attempted to stop the woman 
from calling 911, then fled the scene in a red 2016 Dodge Ram pickup truck 
before responding deputies arrived,” the sheriff’s office said in a 
statement.

Deputies and paramedics attempted to save the infant, identified by law 
enforcement as Eleanor M. Carey, but she was pronounced dead on the scene. 
Her mother was taken to a local hospital for treatment. There was no 
update on her condition Tuesday.

“This is one of the most heartbreaking and senseless crimes committed in 
this community in recent memory,” Broome County Sheriff Fred Akshar said. 
“Our thoughts are with the family of this innocent 3-week-old girl, 
Eleanor Carey.”

Proefriedt was found in the woods less than a mile away from the home, 
authorities said. His car had gotten stuck in the mud.

He was taken into custody and charged with murder in the second degree, 
attempted murder in the second degree and criminal contempt in the first 
degree for violating an order of protection, according to the Broome 
County Sheriff’s Office.

“Proefriedt had a history of domestic incidents with the victim and an 
active Stay Away Order of Protection in place,” the sheriff’s office said.

It wasn’t immediately clear Tuesday if Proefriedt has an attorney.

CORRECTION (June 27, 3:02 p.m. ET): A previous version of this article 
misstated the age of the infant who was killed. She was 3 weeks old, not 3 
months.
