Omar Sepúlveda was 20 when he was fatally shot inside a Bronx residential building on Creston Avenue on the evening of August 11, 2021. Police responded to an assault call at about 7:11 p.m. and found Sepúlveda in the hallway with three gunshot wounds; he was taken to Saint Barnabas Hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators arrested 29-year-old Roberto Guzman of East Harlem on September 13, 2021, charging him with murder and criminal possession of a weapon. The two men were cousins, and family members said there had been ongoing animosity that may have involved money and a damaged vehicle. Sepúlveda’s father described his son as a positive, happy young man and a new father, and said his son was protecting his infant child from Guzman when he was shot. Guzman was reportedly on parole for a prior attempted assault and was held without bail at Rikers Island.
