On the evening of August 26, 2019, 21-year-old Marcellus Shields was shot and killed while sitting inside a Kia sedan in the Rosedale neighborhood of Queens. Shields and a friend, 23-year-old Antoine Folkes, were both struck by multiple gunshot wounds when a white SUV reportedly drove past, made a U-turn, and occupants of that SUV opened fire. Emergency responders pronounced both men dead at the scene; neighbors initially mistook the gunfire for firecrackers.

Investigators noted a possible connection to an earlier drive-by shooting hours before in nearby Springfield Gardens that killed David Hutchinson, an acquaintance of Folkes. Police described the suspects as three unknown men who fled in the white SUV and have sought tips from the public, including offering a reward. No arrests have been announced and the investigation into the triple homicide remains open.

Did anyone in Rosedale or Springfield Gardens see the white SUV or the three men that night?
