In the early morning hours of August 26, 2018, 29-year-old Jelan Moreira was walking through a courtyard in the Ravenswood Houses complex in Long Island City, Queens, when he was gunned down. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his chest and torso, was taken to a local hospital, and succumbed to his injuries. Moreira worked in construction and was a father to two young children.

Police identified 17-year-old Shahid Burton as a primary suspect after video surveillance showed Burton and a second, unidentified person approach Moreira from behind before shots were fired. Burton remained at large for months until a transit officer stopped him on March 28, 2019, at the Sutphin Boulevard-Archer Avenue station and discovered he was wanted in connection with the killing. The second person seen on the footage has not been apprehended.

Does anyone have information about the unidentified person captured on the surveillance video or about Moreira’s final movements that morning?
