Sean Vance, 26, was fatally shot on the evening of New Year’s Eve 2020 in Queens. At about 7:30 p.m. Vance was inside his car in front of 113-08 Sutphin Boulevard in Jamaica when he sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the chest. He was privately transported to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators later tied the killing to gang activity. Prosecutors allege members of the Money World gang believed Vance was involved in an earlier shooting that day and retaliated. The Queens District Attorney’s Office says Money World member Tymirh Bey‑Foster exited a vehicle and fired eight shots at Vance. In March 2023 authorities charged Bey‑Foster, 20, and Jokai Coy, 18, with murder and criminal use of a firearm; a broader 151‑count indictment named 33 alleged members of two rival gangs, Money World and Local Trap Stars, and implicated Justin Harvey and Joel Lewis in planning the attack.

What information might help clarify whether Vance was specifically targeted or mistaken for someone else?
