Qusaun Brown, 23, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of July 17, 2016, after a verbal altercation on Steinway Street in Queens. The dispute began when Brown and a friend made derogatory remarks toward two women in a separate group. Those comments prompted one of the women to ask Santiago Salcedo if he would allow the disrespect, after which Salcedo and a male friend went to their car, retrieved an item from the trunk, and returned to confront Brown and his companion.

Brown was taken to a nearby hospital and died of his injuries two days later.

Salcedo, 27 and from Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, was arrested and later tried. The jury in December 2019 convicted him of first-degree manslaughter, first-degree attempted assault, and two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon. In February 2020, he received a sentence that included 20 years for manslaughter, plus an additional five years for attempted assault, followed by five years of post-release supervision.

Did anyone who knew Qusaun or who was on Steinway Street that night see what happened or have additional details about the confrontation?
