On the night of August 30, 2019, 29-year-old Tyrell Rice was shot while walking along Rockaway Boulevard near 135th Street in South Ozone Park, Queens. Rice, an African American man also known by the nickname Shots Fired, was struck once in the chest at about 10:30 p.m. Emergency personnel transported him to Jamaica Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators determined the shooting was not random; prosecutors later called it a directed hit. Police identified 38-year-old Tevin Jackson as the shooter. Jackson was located by the Regional Fugitive Task Force in Oyster Bay, Long Island, and on September 10, 2019, was arraigned on second-degree murder and two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon. He had been on parole at the time of the killing for a prior robbery conviction.

Does anyone have information about Tyrell Rice’s last movements that night or about that area of Rockaway Boulevard around 10:30 p.m.?
