On the evening of December 18, 2019, 45-year-old Dion Gumby was shot and killed outside a deli on Rockaway Beach Boulevard in Queens at about 6 p.m. Surveillance footage shows Gumby briefly interacting with another man; as Gumby was walking away the other man drew a handgun and fired multiple shots, hitting him in the arm, chest, and abdomen. First responders took Gumby to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

The NYPD identified 33-year-old Michael Hall of Far Rockaway as the alleged shooter and arrested him on January 2, 2020, after the Warrant Squad located him in upstate New York. Police did not immediately confirm whether Gumby and Hall knew each other; some investigators thought the dispute may have been related to narcotics. Hall was indicted on counts including second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon, arraigned and remanded without bail.

Did anyone in the neighborhood know Gumby or see what led up to the shooting that evening?
