Kyle Griffin was 22 when a night out in Astoria, Queens, ended in his death on April 18, 2021. He was sitting in his parked Range Rover after leaving a local lounge when a Jeep Grand Cherokee blocked the vehicle. Two people entered Griffin’s car, displayed firearms and demanded belongings. Griffin tried to drive away and was shot twice in the torso. Emergency services took him to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators from the 114th Precinct recovered two spent shell casings at the scene and later located two loaded pistols a few blocks away, but no suspects were immediately arrested and the case remained unsolved for years. The attack has been described as a robbery that turned fatal, and one of the assailants is reported to have fled the scene.

Did anyone in Astoria that night see the Jeep or the people who got into Griffin’s Range Rover?
