Sean Christopher Brady, 18, was fatally shot in the early hours of May 14, 2020, in Rockaway Beach, Queens. He was sitting in his new red Chevy sedan in front of The Sandwich Shop on Rockaway Beach Boulevard at about 1:14 a.m. when the shooting occurred. Police found Brady unconscious in the driver’s seat with a gunshot wound to the head; a 24-year-old acquaintance in the car was shot in the leg and survived. Both were taken to Jamaica Hospital, where Brady was pronounced dead.

A native of Brooklyn who had moved to Arverne with his family, Brady graduated high school in 2019 a few months after his mother’s death and had hoped to attend a New York University online program. The 100th Precinct Detective Squad is handling the investigation; no arrests have been announced and the case remains open.
