On the morning of July 25, 2020, 53-year-old George Rosa Sr. was walking his dog near 22nd Street and 40th Avenue in Long Island City when a popping sound rang out. He was struck by a stray bullet in the stomach and taken to Elmhurst Hospital. After a month-long fight for his life he died of his injuries on August 26, 2020.

Investigators say Rosa was an unintended victim of gang violence: two people allegedly meant to shoot a rival, and an errant round hit the school teacher instead. An arrest was made on August 25, 2020, in connection with a separate shooting; the 17-year-old taken into custody was charged with murder in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and reckless endangerment in the first degree. Authorities also described an accomplice who had not been apprehended.

Does anyone who lived or worked in the Long Island City area at the time have information about that July 25 shooting or about the people involved?
