On the evening of April 1, 2020, 53-year-old Dave Fraser, a Washington Heights resident, was fatally shot inside an apartment building at 1561 Sheridan Avenue in the Bronx. Police say the shooting occurred at about 9:40 PM on the building’s fifth floor. A 911 call reported a person had been shot; Fraser was taken to BronxCare Medical Center by private means and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival from a gunshot wound to his torso.

Investigators believe the shooting was connected to drug-related activity. Following the inquiry, authorities arrested 51-year-old Edwin Mitel, a Bronx resident, on April 20, 2020; he was charged with murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with Fraser’s death.

If anyone has information about Fraser, the location on Sheridan Avenue that night, or the people involved, please come forward.
