On the evening of September 8, 2020, 23-year-old Dahmel Miller was shot inside the Queensbridge Houses in Long Island City, Queens. Miller, who lived in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, was struck in the abdomen and buttocks on the first floor of a Vernon Boulevard building, then made it to the third floor hallway before collapsing. He was taken to New York-Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center, where his injuries proved fatal.

Investigators say the shooting arose from a dispute over a teenage girl both Miller and the alleged shooter were involved with. Authorities identified 24-year-old Patshawn McMitchell of Elizabeth, New Jersey, as the primary suspect; he was later located in Watertown, New York, and taken into custody. McMitchell was charged with murder, criminal possession of a weapon, acting in a manner injurious to a child under 17, and additional counts including menacing, criminal contempt, and harassment.

Miller’s family and friends remembered him as an avid basketball fan. Does anyone who knew Dahmel or saw activity around the Queensbridge Houses that night have information to share?
