Youssef Soliman was 15 when he was shot and killed in Far Rockaway, Queens, on the afternoon of February 8, 2018. He had just stepped off a city bus near Beach Channel Drive and Beach 47th Street, about eight blocks from his family’s home, when he suffered gunshot wounds to his hand and abdomen and later died at Long Island Jewish Northwell Children’s Center.

Two teenagers from the Far Rockaway area were arrested in connection with the killing. Petiri Edmond, then 17, and 19-year-old Atekel Donaldson were charged with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon and were denied bail. Atekel Donaldson later pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the first degree and received a 17-year prison term plus five years of post-release supervision. The record on the resolution of charges against Petiri Edmond is less clear.

Did anyone in the community know Youssef or have information about what led to this shooting?
