On the morning of October 19, 2020, 19-year-old Wendolin Ortiz was killed at an after-hours club called Mixtec on Jerome Avenue in the Fordham Heights section of the Bronx. At about 7 a.m. gunfire erupted during a party with a DJ and roughly 20 to 30 people in the club; surveillance footage shows patrons fleeing in the immediate aftermath. Ortiz was struck in the torso and taken to St. Barnabas Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Two men, 28 and 30, were also wounded and taken to the hospital in stable condition.

Investigators determined the shooting began with an argument at the bar and that Ortiz was an innocent bystander, not the intended target. A suspect, identified as Domingo Berroa, was apprehended at John F. Kennedy International Airport the day after the shooting while attempting to board a flight to the Dominican Republic and charged in connection with the incident. What details about the moments leading up to the argument or what witnesses saw inside the club might still help the case?
