Christopher Joshua McKnight, 33, was shot and killed during a dice game in the Hollis neighborhood of Queens on the evening of March 9, 2021. The altercation began around 10 p.m. during an argument at the game. Reports state McKnight was winning when another player, Rodney Dunn, produced a firearm and robbed him at gunpoint, taking money and personal items from his pockets. As McKnight walked away, Mark Watson allegedly took the gun from Dunn and fired multiple shots. One bullet struck McKnight in the torso and fatally injured his aorta. He was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Both men have been arrested and charged in connection with McKnight’s murder. What anyone at the dice game that night saw or heard that could help clarify how the dispute escalated?
