What was the name of the Long Island teenager who, in 1993, had an affair with auto mechanic Joey Buttafuoco, and then shot his wife, Mary Jo?

The Long Island teenager involved in the infamous 1992 shooting of Mary Jo Buttafuoco was Amy Fisher. At 17 years old, Fisher had been having a sexual affair with Joey Buttafuoco, Mary Jo's husband, since she was 16. The affair began in 1991 after Fisher took her car to Joey's auto body shop.

On May 19, 1992, Fisher went to the Buttafuoco home in Massapequa, New York. When Mary Jo Buttafuoco answered the door, Fisher, initially posing as a fictitious sister, confronted her about Joey's affair. As Mary Jo turned to go back into the house, Fisher pulled out a .25 caliber semi-automatic pistol and shot her in the head. Mary Jo survived the attack but was left with a bullet lodged in her head, partial facial paralysis, and hearing loss.

The sensational nature of the case, dubbed the "Long Island Lolita" by the media, captivated the public and led to extensive tabloid coverage. Fisher was initially charged with attempted murder but pleaded guilty to first-degree aggravated assault, serving seven years of a 5-to-15-year sentence. Joey Buttafuoco initially denied the affair but later pleaded guilty to statutory rape in 1993, admitting he had sex with Fisher when she was 16, and served four months in prison. The dramatic events inspired multiple made-for-television movies and remain a notable example of a crime story that became a national sensation.
