On the evening of April 11, 2020, a memorial gathering in East Harlem turned deadly when gunfire erupted near East 112th Street and First Avenue. Frederick Cross, 40, known as Mumbles, was setting up the memorial for a friend killed the day before when he was shot and killed. Another man, 41-year-old Stefan Ross, was also killed and a 38-year-old man was critically injured.

Cross was a lifelong resident of East 119th Street who had been raised by his aunt after his mother died. He was described as a kind man and reportedly had been looking forward to caring for his aunt when she left the hospital. The motive for the shooting was not immediately clear.

The NYPD identified a person of interest on April 16, 2020, seeking 33-year-old James Spain for questioning, and an arrest of James Spain followed in July 2020. Does anyone have information about Cross, the memorial that night, or the events near East 112th Street and First Avenue?
