Devontay Robert, 17, a recent graduate of Longwood High School, was shot and killed outside a home on Judith Drive in Coram, New York, on the evening of October 1, 2019. Devontay was not part of the dispute; he had been sitting alone in the passenger seat of a parked car when the violence occurred. Suffolk County police had been called about 5:30 p.m. after a report of a man with a handgun threatening his family.

As officers arrived, Devontay’s older brother, 27-year-old Dimitri Robert, approached the vehicle and shot Devontay in front of police and family members. Officers took Dimitri into custody at the scene. Friends and family described Devontay as a really good kid with a bright future.

A jury later found Dimitri Robert guilty of murder; in May 2022 he was sentenced to 25 years to life. Does anyone have memories of Devontay or information about the circumstances that night?
