Sean Dallas, 29, was killed on the morning of Tuesday, September 15, 2020, in Mariners Harbor, Staten Island. Dallas, a Black father of two who was living in a Brooklyn homeless shelter and on probation, was reportedly picking up his young sons from their mother’s residence when a dispute that began on the Staten Island Expressway escalated. Around 8:45 a.m. at Grandview Avenue and Arlington Place, Dallas was shot in the chest and right arm. He was taken to Richmond University Medical Center, where he died.

Police investigators tied the incident to a blue rental car and, using its license plate, identified a suspect. In January 2021 authorities arrested 31-year-old Jahel Ashley on Long Island and charged him with murder; Ashley was described as a member of the Bloods and as having a lengthy criminal record and a recent parole status. Dallas’s death was one of several fatal shootings on Staten Island’s north shore in a short period, which drew concern from community leaders and lawmakers.

If anyone knew Sean, saw the events that morning, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
