On the evening of March 5, 2019, 27-year-old Pernell Cudjoe was shot and killed in the South Jamaica/Springfield Gardens area of Queens. Police found him unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the chest near 180th Street and 145th Avenue just before 7 p.m.; he was taken to Jamaica Hospital and pronounced dead. Cudjoe lived a few blocks away on 145th Drive.

A verbal and physical altercation occurred, Suckoo brandished a firearm, and when Cudjoe and his brother ran, Suckoo fired two shots, one striking Cudjoe in the back. Video surveillance was said to show Suckoo pulling out a gun and firing.

Suckoo was arrested April 11, 2019, and later pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the first degree; he was sentenced to 19 years in prison with five years of post-release supervision. Does anyone have information about the altercation that led to this shooting or recall seeing activity near 180th Street and 145th Avenue that evening?
