Nicholas Jasiel, 19, was shot on the evening of December 7, 2019, in Ramapo’s Hillcrest neighborhood. The shooting occurred about 9:00 p.m. on Dwight Avenue at the corner of Mallory Road after a confrontation; Jasiel was struck in the street. He was initially taken to a local hospital, then transferred to Westchester Medical Center, where he died of his injuries on December 9, 2019. Jasiel lived in nearby Nanuet, graduated from Clarkstown South High School and worked for a company that makes graveyard monuments.

The Ramapo Police Department and the FBI treat the case as an active homicide investigation. Authorities say they have leads on a possible gunman but have not made an arrest, citing a need for more substantial information and evidence. Investigators believe there were other people with Jasiel at the time; the specific nature of the confrontation has not been disclosed. Rewards from New York State Crime Stoppers and the FBI are being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
