On the afternoon of January 25, 2022, 16-year-old Julian Oliveros was walking on Fourth Street in New Rochelle when he was shot four times at about 3:38 p.m., struck in the lower back, knee, neck and shoulder. Surveillance video captured the daylight attack. Emergency crews transported him to Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, where he was pronounced dead later that day.

New Rochelle police arrested a 16-year-old resident, Tommy Rivera, shortly after the shooting near Glen Place and Beechwood Avenue. Officers found a 9mm semi-automatic handgun on Rivera; investigators described the weapon as a ghost gun without a serial number and later recovered tools used to assemble such firearms at Rivera’s home. A Westchester County grand jury indicted Rivera for second-degree murder and two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon; he was prosecuted as an adolescent offender.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about Julian’s movements that afternoon, please share what is known.
