On the night of June 30, 2020, 21-year-old Dante Sartillian was fatally shot in Corona, Queens. Around 11:35 p.m. a chase along Warren Street ended near 41st Avenue when Sartillian was struck in the chest by a single .40-caliber bullet. He ran into Sabor Latino, an Ecuadorean restaurant, before collapsing; a friend drove him to Elmhurst Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on July 1, 2020.

The NYPD’s 110th Precinct and the Queens North Homicide Squad investigated. Two men were later arrested: 23-year-old Joshua Petillo of Corona was taken into custody on July 27, 2020, and charged with second-degree murder and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon; 21-year-old Kevin Guerra of East Elmhurst was arrested on August 7, 2020, and charged with murder, criminal use of a firearm, and criminal possession of a weapon. Both were remanded without bail.

Anyone who knew Dante or has information about what happened that night is asked to come forward.
