Madgey Saleh was 23 when he was shot dead in a drive-by shooting in Queens in the early morning hours of a Sunday in August 2020. Saleh, a Queensbridge Houses resident, was standing outside a deli on 40th Avenue at about 3:27 a.m. when someone in a passing car opened fire, striking him in the abdomen. First responders found him unconscious; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 4:00 a.m.

The NYPD opened an investigation but made no arrests and the shooter fled in the vehicle. In August 2021 the Queens County District Attorney’s Office announced a large indictment targeting members of rival street gangs around Queensbridge and Ravenswood and described Saleh’s killing as as-yet-unsolved. Authorities said Saleh was allegedly associated with a gang called the Makk Ballers, and his death was linked to that feud, but no suspects in his murder were publicly identified. If anyone knew Madgey Saleh or has information about the shooting, please come forward to investigators.
