Devante Lane, 23 and from the Bronx, was killed by gunfire on July 15, 2020, at the corner of Horton Avenue and Brook Street in New Rochelle. According to accounts of the incident, a man exited a vehicle near a grocery store, walked west on Horton Avenue and deliberately shot two people; Lane was struck in the head and died at a local hospital, while a second victim suffered a non-life-threatening leg wound. Witnesses reported hearing six gunshots.

Five days later, on July 20, the same intersection was the scene of a drive-by where four shots were fired; no one was hurt. A Yonkers man, 24-year-old Stephen Hugh, was arrested in connection with the July 20 shooting and charged with attempted murder, and police said they were investigating whether the two events were related. There have been no public announcements connecting Hugh to Lane’s killing. Anyone with information about what happened on July 15 is asked to come forward.
