A West Sayville teen who police say was fatally shot by her ex-boyfriend in Nesconset last week was remembered by the ballet studio where she used to dance.
The American Ballet Studio in Bayport told News 12 that it lined the studio with pink ribbons in honor of 18-year-old Emily Finn.
The studio is also establishing a scholarship in Emily’s name and dedicating this year’s “Nutcracker” performance to her.

News 12 reported that Finn, 18, was visiting her ex-boyfriend's house after breaking up with him over the phone. Police say she wanted to talk in person and return some items to him.
Homicide detectives say when the victim arrived, the 17-year-old took out a shotgun and opened fire. Then turned the gun on himself.
"He survived the shot and was taken to Stony Brook University Hospital,” said Lt. Detective Kevin Beyrer.
The 17-year-old, who has not yet been identified, is now facing murder charges.
