Peter Panthier Jr., 26, was killed the evening of March 26, 2022, in Far Rockaway, Queens. Surveillance footage shows Panthier walking down a driveway near Grassmere Terrace with another man when that individual produced a firearm and shot him at point-blank range in the head and neck. The assailant then fled the scene. Panthier was found in a pool of blood, taken to St. John’s Episcopal Hospital, and pronounced dead.

Originally from Dominica, Panthier had moved to Brooklyn with his family about a year before his death. Described by his father as quiet and intelligent, he studied economics, made music, and had previously worked as a teacher in his home country. His family said they ate dinner with him the night he was killed and became worried when he did not return home. The motive for the killing is unclear.

Does anyone who knew Peter or who was in Far Rockaway on March 26, 2022, have information that could help clarify what happened?
