Aldair J. Melchor, 25, was killed in a drive-by shooting in Flushing on the evening of July 18, 2021. Melchor, a College Point resident known to friends as Dre and Julihno, was standing with a woman on 132nd Street near 32nd Avenue at about 7:20 p.m. when a black car pulled up and an occupant opened fire. Melchor was struck in the head and left arm, taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Queens, and died early the next morning.

The NYPD’s 109th Precinct identified the shooter’s vehicle as a black Audi that fled southbound on 137th Street. Authorities noted Melchor was known to them as a local gang member, but a specific motive had not been established. No arrests had been announced and the case remained open.

Does anyone have information about the shooting, the black Audi, or Melchor’s movements that evening?
