On November 2, 2016, about 12:40 p.m., 45-year-old Maribel Cavero Reyes was killed by a stray bullet while walking on East 154th Street in the Melrose neighborhood of the Bronx. A shootout between several men erupted on the street; Cavero Reyes was struck in the chest and collapsed after a witness heard her scream. She was taken to Lincoln Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.

Police focused the investigation on a teenage suspect and identified 17-year-old Orlando Oquendo as the person who fired the shot while chasing another man. Two days after the shooting, Oquendo was arrested and charged with murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon. Authorities described Cavero Reyes as an innocent bystander with no connection to her killer.

Her mother delivered a victim impact statement describing Maribel as a lovely and hardworking woman without vices. Does anyone have information about Maribel’s last movements that afternoon or witnessed the shooting?
