On February 2, 2018, 20-year-old Oscar Antonio Blanco-Hernandez was found shot multiple times in the Jamaica Hills section of Queens, New York. Responding officers discovered him on 160th Street near 85th Avenue after an assault was reported by a 911 caller at 6:40 p.m. He was taken to Queens Hospital Center and pronounced dead. Autopsy and scene reports recorded gunshot wounds to the head and groin and at least four shell casings were recovered near the location where he was shot.

Investigators say Blanco-Hernandez had been lured from his home in Elizabeth, New Jersey, to meet acquaintances in Queens. Authorities identified members of a rival gang, including Yanki Misael Cruz-Mateo and Yoni Alexander Sierra, as involved in the killing; security camera footage later showed Blanco-Hernandez walking with two people believed to be connected to the attack. Cruz-Mateo reportedly fired a .380 caliber semiautomatic handgun at close range while Blanco-Hernandez was seated in a car.

What information can someone who knew Oscar or saw activity in Jamaica Hills that evening add to the timeline?
