Jensy Amparo, a 26-year-old male, was shot while sitting in his car near East 167th Street and the Grand Concourse in the Bronx on the evening of March 21, 2019. A man opened the passenger door, demanded Amparo’s ring at gunpoint and shot him in the shoulder. Amparo was taken to hospital and died the next day.

The NYPD identified a 22-year-old suspect, Keron Codd, known by the street name Gucci, described as a Black male about 5 feet 8 inches and 160 pounds, and sought him for questioning. Authorities believed he may have left the state; the Portland, Maine Police Department assisted in the search and a $2,500 reward was offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment.

In February 2020, Codd was located and arrested. The killing has been described as a senseless robbery over a ring rather than gang- or drug-related violence. Did anyone in the Bronx community see or hear anything useful that night, or have information about Amparo’s movements before the shooting?
