A Sweet 16 celebration in the Bronx ended in gunfire that killed 16-year-old Sincear Michael Williams of Clason Point. Sincear was struck in the neck outside Maestro’s Caterers on Bronxdale Avenue in Morris Park shortly after midnight on December 28, 2017, after a party that had been promoted on social media drew many uninvited guests. He was taken to Jacobi Hospital and pronounced dead. A 17-year-old male was also wounded, suffering a gunshot to his left arm.

Police later arrested 19-year-old Kameron Wallace on January 31, 2018, charging him with second-degree murder, attempted murder, first-degree manslaughter, first-degree assault and multiple weapons counts. Authorities alleged Wallace had been a party crasher who argued with the 17-year-old before shots were fired from a car into the crowd. The trial did not conclude until 2021 amid delays; the jury returned a verdict in October 2021.

If anyone was at Maestro’s Caterers that night or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
