Joshua Lopez was 24 when he was fatally wounded by a gunshot to his torso in the Bronx on the night of June 9, 2017. The shooting happened around 10:30 p.m. near 1135 East Tremont Avenue. Lopez was taken to Jacobi Medical Center, where he died.

Investigators described a backdrop of drug-related activity and said the shooting appeared to be a drive-by. Authorities alleged Lopez was an innocent bystander hit during a dispute between rival drug dealers; the intended targets were not struck. Two men, Sydney Scales (known as Sid and Moe Black) and Ernest Horge (known as Ern and Mac), were arrested and later charged in connection with narcotics and firearms offenses. A superseding indictment charged Scales with causing another person to shoot at rival dealers, resulting in Lopez’s death.

Who remembers Joshua or saw activity near East Tremont Avenue that night?
