Tymel West, 22, was shot multiple times in the torso during a November 2018 baby shower on Guy R. Brewer Boulevard in the South Jamaica neighborhood of Queens. He was taken privately to Jamaica Hospital where he was pronounced dead. A large crowd gathered at the scene while the NYPD Crime Scene Unit processed the area.

Investigators identified a suspect and released images to the public, warning he was considered armed and dangerous. Police arrested 33-year-old Lhosni Colot of Jamaica; authorities say Colot admitted to shooting West after an argument. Colot was charged with second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter, and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, and a Queens grand jury indicted him. Prosecutors said the most serious charge carried a potential sentence up to 25 years to life. The dispute was described as a petty argument that escalated to deadly violence.

Did anyone at the baby shower or nearby that night see what started the argument or have information about the events leading up to the shooting?
