A daylight shooting in the Melrose section of the Bronx ended the life of 44-year-old Victor Marquez on the afternoon of Sunday, August 13, 2017. According to reports, Marquez approached 20-year-old Deshawn Brown in front of the apartment building at 3125 Park Avenue, and the encounter ended when Brown allegedly shot Marquez in the head. Marquez was taken to Lincoln Hospital and pronounced dead.

Police say the dispute stemmed from a romantic rivalry, with Marquez described as the new boyfriend of Brown’s ex-girlfriend. Brown fled into the nearby Park Avenue building but was quickly arrested by the NYPD. He was arraigned the following Monday in Bronx Criminal Court on charges including murder and manslaughter and was ordered held without bail.

Did anyone in Melrose see or hear anything that afternoon that could shed more light on what happened?
