A neighborhood dispute over a shared driveway in Edgemere, Queens, ended in tragedy on the evening of June 5, 2021, when 10-year-old Justin Wallace was fatally shot during a family barbecue at his aunt’s home on Beach 45th Street. Justin, a fifth-grader at Challenge Charter School who liked math and cars, was struck in the torso and taken to St. John’s Episcopal Hospital, where he was pronounced dead just days before his 11th birthday and his elementary school graduation. His 29-year-old uncle was also shot in the shoulder and hand and survived.

Surveillance video showed a gunman arrive in a sedan, walk up to the house, fire multiple shots through the front screen door, and flee. Police say the shooting was linked to an ongoing parking dispute and that 29-year-old Jovan Young turned himself in to the 101st Precinct on June 8, 2021; he was charged with murder, attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon and later indicted on second-degree murder, first-degree assault, and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon. More than two years later, police arrested 29-year-old Ashram Lochan as the alleged mastermind and charged him with murder and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon.

Did anyone who knew Justin or was at that barbecue see something that has not been shared publicly?
