On the afternoon of October 23, 2018, Jaquan Millien, 29, and his five-year-old son were returning to an apartment building on Webster Avenue in the Claremont section of the Bronx when a gunman intercepted them in the sixth-floor stairwell. Millien was struck in the torso and died after being taken to Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center; his son was shot in the arm, treated at the scene and hospitalized in stable condition, and ultimately recovered.

Investigators later determined the shooting was connected to a marijuana trafficking dispute rather than a random attack. The case went cold for nearly three years until witnesses who had been reluctant to speak eventually came forward after moving away from the neighborhood. That information pointed to a suspect known as Suave, identified as Joshua Rodriguez, who allegedly followed Millien and his son into the building and fired multiple shots.

Rodriguez was arrested in June 2022 and charged with Millien’s murder. The trial established motive as a drug rivalry and produced witness testimony about prior conflict between the men. Does anyone have information about Millien’s movements or associates in Claremont in the weeks before October 23, 2018?
