On the night of September 24, 2022, 45-year-old Jose Alvarado drove his Mercedes-Benz to the Hunts Point neighborhood in the Bronx. Shortly before midnight he was approached by three individuals, robbed of his wallet and phone, and shot once in the head. The assailants then fled in Alvarado’s own vehicle. He was taken to Lincoln Hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators said Alvarado may have been lured to the location by a phone call. Surveillance footage from the area was important to the inquiry. On September 27, 2022, two 18-year-old suspects, Ahkeem Chase and Latrell Fleming, were arrested and charged with murder, robbery, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon. The probe into the carjacking and a possible third suspect remained open.

If anyone witnessed the robbery or has information about the third person involved, please share what is known.
