Melvin Ureña, 19, was killed in a daytime shooting on July 2, 2022, in the Melrose section of the Bronx. At about 1:30 p.m., he was riding a scooter at the intersection of East 156th Street and Melrose Avenue when a gray Honda Pilot pulled up and two people got out with weapons. At least one assailant fired, striking Ureña in the head and right leg. He was taken to a hospital but died of his wounds. The shooters returned to the vehicle and fled east on East 156th Street.

Ureña and his father had moved to the United States from the Dominican Republic four years earlier. The NYPD released surveillance footage as part of its investigation in an effort to identify the people who opened fire.

Did anyone in the Melrose area see the gray Honda Pilot or the suspects that afternoon?
