Michael Peter Moran Jr., a 30-year-old White man from Queens, was fatally shot inside a residence at 26-45 94th St. in East Elmhurst on May 30, 2021. He suffered gunshot wounds to the chest and throat, became unconscious and unresponsive, and was taken to Elmhurst Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The 115th Precinct investigation led to the arrest of 37-year-old Asa Wright of Ditmars Boulevard in East Elmhurst. Wright was charged with murder, manslaughter, unlawful imprisonment, and criminal possession of a firearm in connection with Moran’s death. The case drew attention from the community and local media because of concerns about gun violence in the neighborhood.

Does anyone have information about Moran’s movements that day or knew him personally and can help fill in what happened leading up to the shooting?
