Shamel Amos, 33, was killed in a drive-by shooting in the South Bronx in the early morning of January 22, 2022. A resident of Richmond Plaza, Amos was found by 40th Precinct officers near a warehouse at 805 East 139th Street after a 911 call about the shooting. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his torso and legs and was taken to Lincoln Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly afterward.

Police say two males exited the warehouse and got into a dark-colored Honda CRV with Florida plates and distinctive stickers on the trunk. The vehicle pulled alongside Amos and a passenger fired multiple times. A 23-year-old Bronx man, Daniel Colon, was arrested and charged with murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon; investigators say a second shooter remains at large. Any readers with information about the second suspect or the vehicle are asked to come forward.
