Gladstone Barrett, 72, was shot in his Springfield Gardens home on April 1, 2022, during a domestic confrontation that started when his daughter’s ex-boyfriend arrived from Maryland. Barrett suffered wounds to his hand, esophagus, and liver and died of a gunshot wound on April 19, 2022, more than two weeks after the shooting. Before being taken to the hospital Barrett identified his attacker to his wife and to a responding police officer.

The suspect, 51-year-old Sheldon Dottin, had traveled to Queens after renting a car in New Jersey. Disguised with a hat and mask, he fled the country after the shooting and was captured in Panama while attempting to board a flight to Trinidad. He was extradited back to Queens to face charges.

Does anyone in Springfield Gardens remember seeing someone arrive in a rented car around April 1, 2022, or know more about movements in the neighborhood that day?
