On the evening of October 14, 2016, 24-year-old Carlos Ulises Ventura-Zelaya was found shot and lying in front of a house on Hudson Avenue in the Roosevelt neighborhood of New York. First responders took him to Nassau University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Neighbors reported hearing six or seven gunshots and saw a man flee in a car, and police said the shooting did not appear random.

The case remained unsolved for some time, but investigators later linked Ventura-Zelaya’s killing to MS-13 activity. An indictment in an investigation of Long Island murders between 2016 and 2017 charged eight alleged members of two MS-13 cliques with multiple killings; Carlos Alfaro was charged with the second-degree murder of Ventura-Zelaya. Authorities described the slayings as part of a campaign to eliminate rivals and secure control in the area.

Are there anyone on Hudson Avenue or in Roosevelt who remembers that night or has information about who fled the scene?
