On the night of May 1, 2017, 41-year-old Jacqueline Dicks was walking home in East New York, Brooklyn, after finishing her shift as an MTA conductor. At about 11:40 p.m. she was struck once in the head by a gunshot and was pronounced dead at the scene. She was a mother of six.

Her boyfriend, 44-year-old Zire King, initially told investigators three men ran up and shot Dicks after he briefly went into a store. Surveillance footage later contradicted that account, showing King speaking with Dicks moments before the shooting and then returning to his car and placing her bag containing her phone into the trunk. Police executed a search warrant on his vehicle and recovered a .40 caliber handgun believed to be the murder weapon. Family members described King as a jealous partner, and investigators publicly named him a person of interest and sought him for questioning.

A few days after the killing, on May 5, 2017, King was found dead in New Jersey, ending the search for the primary suspect and leaving many questions for Dicks’s family and the community. Did anyone in East New York see Jacqueline or notice anything suspicious that night?
