Anthony Ali, 24, was shot and killed after a road‑rage confrontation in Richmond Hill, Queens, on Aug. 12, 2021. He was driving a blue BMW on 116th Street near 89th Avenue when a collision led to a heated argument between drivers that escalated into gunfire. Police said the other driver produced a handgun and fired into Ali’s car, striking him in the head and chest; another account said he was shot in the face and chest as he tried to pull away. Footage referenced in reports showed the cars moving side by side, striking parked vehicles, and Ali’s BMW ending its run against a pole while a man ran from the scene.

A passenger in Ali’s car was uninjured. Investigators described the fleeing vehicle as a black Infiniti sedan, reported as a 2008–2010 model with temporary Florida plates and possible front‑end damage; the shooter left the scene on foot. Ali’s family said he worked as a jewelry store clerk, loved fashion and cars, and spoke to his mother minutes before the shooting, saying he was coming home to walk his new puppy. Was anyone in the area that night able to see or identify the Infiniti or the person who ran from the crash?
