Gregory Campos was 18 and a Queens College student with plans to become an air traffic controller when he was fatally shot in a Jackson Heights apartment building on February 10, 2022. He had met 19-year-old Joseph Barahona at the home of Barahona’s brother for what Campos believed was a marijuana transaction. After an initial meeting, Barahona left to get money and Campos held the building door for his return.

Barahona came back with two masked, armed accomplices. The three forced Campos at gunpoint back up the stairs toward the apartment. A witness inside slammed the apartment door and called for a weapon; during the chaos, 36-year-old Joe Donias fired a gun through a wall and the bullet struck Campos in the chest. Campos was taken to Elmhurst Hospital and later died of his injuries.

Barahona was indicted on second-degree murder, first-degree burglary and first-degree attempted robbery under the felony-murder rule, and Donias was arrested and charged with manslaughter for firing the fatal shot. Did anyone hear or see activity in that building that night who could help clarify what happened?
