On April 20, 2021, Ray Wishropp, 49, was fatally shot while on his lunch break in a second-floor office at the Stop & Shop where he worked as grocery manager in West Hempstead, New York. The shooter, a store employee, returned to the building about 40 minutes after leaving and opened fire, killing Wishropp and wounding two other employees before running out of ammunition.

The gunman was identified as Gabriel DeWitt Wilson, 31, a cart collector at the store. After a roughly four-hour manhunt, police apprehended him in Hempstead, less than two miles from the scene. Wilson was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and multiple counts of attempted murder.

Wishropp was a father of seven who had moved to the United States from Guyana. His family described him as a devoted family man. What details about the day or the shooter’s motives did witnesses notice that could still help clarifying what led to this attack?
