On the morning of October 19, 2018, 30-year-old Demetrius Winfield of Hempstead, New York, was fatally shot on Wellesley Street. While on a break from work and speaking with a friend at approximately 10:54 a.m., two men opened fire in a rapid burst of at least 15 shots over 14 seconds. Winfield was struck in the face, chest, and groin and later pronounced dead at a local hospital; his friend was wounded but survived.

Investigators said the shooting was not random, tying the attack to a dispute between Winfield and another man at a gas station three days earlier. Arrests were made on December 11, 2018, when Jamik Cannon and Brian Marshall-Gibson were taken into custody and charged with murder and attempted murder in connection with the attack.

Does anyone who lived in Hempstead in October 2018 remember the dispute at the gas station or have information about the events leading up to the shooting?
