On the morning of August 16, 2020, 27-year-old Alexis Gonzalez-Sanchez of Melville was shot and killed in a parking lot on Union Avenue in Westbury. The shooting occurred about 1:05 a.m., reportedly near a house party of roughly 40 people. Gonzalez-Sanchez was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators say the confrontation began after an argument over beer when a group that included 16-year-old Junior Maldonado arrived uninvited and multiple fights broke out. Witnesses testified seeing Maldonado with a gun and one witness said they saw him fire a warning shot, though no witness saw him fire the fatal rounds. Maldonado was arrested in September 2020 and later convicted of manslaughter and illegal gun possession after a trial.

Gonzalez-Sanchez had moved to Westbury from Mexico at age three, graduated from Westbury High School, and hoped to become a designer. Does anyone have information about that night or knew Alexis and can help fill in what happened?
