On the morning of May 14, 2017, 38-year-old Robert Cuvilly was ambushed and fatally shot in the head outside his home on 144th Avenue in a Brookville neighborhood of Queens. The shooting occurred about 8:30 a.m. as Cuvilly was getting out of a vehicle; another man with him, Antonio Leon, was shot in the stomach and survived. Cuvilly’s wife and children were inside the house when it happened and his daughter ran outside to try to help him.

Surveillance video showed a light-colored, two-door Mercedes Benz circling the block, parking nearby, and a man pacing in front of the house for roughly two hours before opening fire as Cuvilly stepped from the family vehicle. The suspect was described as a Black male, about 21 to 35 years old, slim, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 11 inches tall and 160 to 180 pounds, who fled in a silver Mercedes Benz CLK 320 with New York plates. Investigators released extended footage highlighting the suspect’s distinctive walk to seek identification.

No arrests have been announced; the case remains unsolved. If anyone recognizes the man, the car, or has information about this shooting, please come forward.
