Three Indicted in July Murder of Spring Valley Teen

Just over a month ago, on Friday July 8, 2022, around 2:30am in Rockland County, the Spring Valley Police Department responded to reports of a male who had been shot.  Upon arrival, the officers found 17-year-old Treynahel Cineus, a resident of Spring Valley who would have been entering his senior year at Ramapo High School, with a gun-shot wound.  Life-saving medical attention was given to Cineus on the scene, he was then transported to Good Samaritan Hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.

On July 21st, it was reported that a Hudson Valley man was charged with murder in relation to the shooting death of the 17-year-old Cineus.  Reports indicate that Spring Valley detectives, with aid from the Haverstraw Police Department, had arrested Anthony Mitchell, of Haverstraw, in connection with the shooting.

Now we have learned that two other Haverstraw men have also been indicted by a Grand Jury for the murder of the Rockland County teen.
