Eric Assanah Jr., 21, was found dead in his South Ozone Park, Queens, home on December 11, 2016, after suffering a fatal gunshot wound to the chest. He was discovered in bed beside his girlfriend, Amanda Gajraj, who reportedly had been threatened over $1,200 she was accused of stealing. In the hours before the killing Assanah left a voicemail for his father in Guyana saying he was scared.

Police say four people forced their way into the apartment and entered Assanah’s bedroom while he was sleeping; he was shot there and bled to death as the assailants fled. Two suspects were taken into custody: 21-year-old Jonathan Chan surrendered to the 106th Precinct and was charged with murder, burglary, and resisting arrest; 21-year-old Shamar Daley was later arrested and charged with murder and burglary. Authorities continued searching for the two other suspects involved in the home invasion.

Does anyone have information about the other two intruders or additional details about what led to the dispute over the money?
