Lasaaun Lawrence, 27, was killed on September 23, 2020, after a dispute over money he said he was owed for a car repair. Lawrence went to the Valley Stream home of Avita Campbell and her son, Raymond Jackson, to collect the debt; a physical fight between Lawrence and Jackson followed earlier that day.

Later that afternoon surveillance footage shows Campbell and Jackson exiting a white BMW on Beach 31st Street near Seagirt Avenue in Far Rockaway while Lawrence sat in his double-parked car. Jackson, armed with a handgun, fired about a dozen shots into Lawrence’s vehicle, striking him multiple times. Campbell accompanied Jackson carrying a metal pipe and then used it to smash the windshield after the shooting. Lawrence died of his gunshot wounds.

Police located the white BMW and on October 2, 2020 pulled over Campbell. A search of the car turned up a loaded handgun and two magazines; ballistics testing tied that firearm to Lawrence’s killing. Jackson fled but was later apprehended in Florida and returned to New York to face charges.

Does anyone have information about Lawrence’s life, where he worked, or who might have known about the dispute over the repair bill?
