Declyn ‘Dex’ Lauper, the son of iconic singer Cyndi Lauper, was arrested in connection with criminal possession of a weapon and drugs in New York City Wednesday.
Dex, 26, was taken into custody after a shooting occurred in Harlem around 7:15 p.m. in the area near 135 W. 112th St., police told the New York Post, after a 24-year-old man was found shot in his leg near an apartment building.
Authorities took Dex into custody as they were investigating the shooting of the man, who was subsequently taken to Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.
It was not immediately clear if Dex’s arrest had any link to the shooting, officials told the outlet.
