Rafael Jimenez, 29, was shot dead on a Bronx street on the evening of June 8, 2022. He was found on Walton Avenue near East 183rd Street with a fatal gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead after being taken to St. Barnabas Hospital. The New York City Police Department opened a homicide investigation.

Two people were arrested in connection with the killing: 21-year-old Jose Chavez and a 15-year-old male who reportedly turned himself in to a police precinct with his mother. Both faced charges including murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon. Investigators noted Jimenez had a criminal record, including a felony assault conviction that led to more than six years in prison; he had been released on parole about six months before his death.

Does anyone who knew Rafael or was in that Bronx neighborhood on June 8, 2022, have information that could help clarify what happened?
