On the morning of August 6, 2020, 21-year-old Sanel Music was killed in a drive-by shooting in the Woodhaven neighborhood of Queens, New York. He was sitting in the driver’s seat of his father’s Mercedes Benz SUV at the intersection of 91st Street and 85th Avenue around 4:30 a.m., talking with a 19-year-old friend, when a black sedan pulled alongside and an unidentified assailant opened fire into the vehicle. Music was struck in the head and chest and later died at Elmhurst Hospital; his friend suffered a gunshot wound to the arm and survived after being taken to a hospital.

The family, Bosnian refugees who had settled in the city, said they had hoped to escape the violence of their homeland but were instead confronted by this deadly attack. The investigation remains ongoing and no arrests have been announced.

If anyone has information about the shooting or the suspects, please come forward to help bring justice for Sanel Music.
