On the evening of November 23, 2012, 21-year-old Peren Phillippe was found lying in front of 43-12 Rockaway Beach Blvd in the Arverne section of the Rockaways, Queens, with multiple gunshot wounds to his torso and legs. Emergency crews took him to Jamaica Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police arrested 18-year-old Diamonte Alexander of Far Rockaway in connection with the shooting and recovered a 9mm handgun. Alexander was charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon. Reports say Phillippe may have been followed after exiting an A train at the Beach 44th Street station, but authorities did not publicly disclose a motive.

A jury convicted Alexander in 2016 of first-degree manslaughter and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon. In January 2019 an appellate court reversed the manslaughter conviction and ordered the matter back to Queens Supreme Court because of how a prospective black juror’s dismissal was handled. Does anyone have additional information about Phillippe’s last movements or witnesses from the Beach 44th Street station area?
