A morning argument in Manhattan’s Alphabet City turned fatal on April 29, 2022, when 42-year-old Anthony Ramon was shot just after 9 a.m. on East 4th Street. Witnesses heard gunshots and saw Ramon, struck in the stomach and leg, try to crawl away before the shooter — described as wearing all black — fled on a bicycle.

Ramon was taken to Bellevue Hospital but died shortly after arrival. The NYPD arrested 46-year-old Jason Colon the next day; Colon was charged with manslaughter and processed at the 9th Precinct. The case highlighted concerns about gun violence in the neighborhood.

Are there witnesses or anyone with information about the confrontation on East 4th Street who can help clarify what led to the shooting?
