Wayne Joseph, 29, was fatally shot in St. Albans, Queens, on the evening of June 11, 2021. At about 10:45 p.m. he had just left a basement apartment on Quencer Road when he was confronted and pursued by a man identified as Rayshawn Cherry. The chase continued around parked cars and past homes before Cherry fired, striking Joseph in the torso and leg. Joseph was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center and died the following day.

A Queens grand jury indicted Cherry on second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon in July 2021. On July 13, 2022, Cherry pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and was sentenced to 18 years in prison plus five years of post-release supervision. The apartment Joseph had been visiting was occupied by Cherry’s girlfriend.

Did anyone in St. Albans see or hear the confrontation on Quencer Road that night or have information about Joseph’s movements before he left the apartment?
