Karron Alston, a 25-year-old Black man, was shot and killed behind a residence on 95th Street in East Elmhurst, Queens, on the night of October 12, 2017. The shooting happened shortly before 10 p.m. after a physical altercation with a group of men; witnesses reported Alston appeared to be gaining the upper hand when one of the men produced a firearm and shot him in the head and torso. He was found unconscious, taken to Elmhurst Hospital Center, and pronounced dead.

The NYPD identified 26-year-old Johnathan Baez as a person of interest and released a photograph seeking leads, stating Baez was believed to be the gunman and that he and Alston were acquainted. As of late 2022 the case remained unsolved and Baez had not been captured.

Does anyone who knew Karron or who was in East Elmhurst on October 12, 2017 have information that could help move this case forward?
