Raymond Rue, 41, was fatally shot in the hallway of his apartment building in the Baisley Park housing project in South Jamaica, Queens, in the early hours of May 16, 2018. He was found just steps from his second-floor door with a gunshot wound to the head at about 2 a.m.

Surveillance video from the building showed a man raising a firearm to Rue’s head and firing at least one shot; the footage also showed a second person present, whom investigators identified as a person of interest. Detectives from the 113th Precinct arrested 46-year-old Walter Ware of Brooklyn and charged him with murder and criminal possession of a weapon. Ware was arraigned on May 22, 2018, and faced a potential sentence of 25 years to life if convicted.

Rue’s death left neighbors and the community reeling. If anyone saw activity in the building that night or has information about the second person shown on the surveillance footage, contact the investigators handling the case.
