A Queens road‑rage encounter left 46‑year‑old Jamal Artis dead after a minor collision escalated to gunfire. On the afternoon of September 10, 2022, Artis was driving his Chevrolet Impala on the Horace Harding Expressway near 108th Street with his daughter in the passenger seat when his vehicle was involved in a minor crash with a white Acura. A verbal dispute between the drivers turned violent when the Acura’s driver produced a firearm and shot Artis in the torso. Despite his injury, Artis tried to drive away to protect his daughter; the shooter fled the scene.

Paramedics took Artis to New York‑Presbyterian Queens Hospital in critical condition; he died two days later on September 12, 2022, and the medical examiner ruled his death a homicide. Investigators recovered a .380 shell casing and witnesses described the shooter as a light‑skinned man. On September 16, 2022, police arrested 24‑year‑old Obryan Hernandez of Corona, Queens, charging him with murder and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with Artis’s death.

If anyone witnessed the collision, the shooting, or saw the Acura leave the Horace Harding Expressway that day, please come forward with details.
