On the evening of May 19, 2016, a burst of gunfire in the St. Albans neighborhood of Queens left 24-year-old Lameak Williams critically wounded. Williams, a Black man from East New York, Brooklyn, was standing near 122nd Avenue and Grayson Street at about 7:15 p.m. when an assailant approached and fired three shots, striking him in the torso and in the right leg. He was taken to Jamaica Hospital but died of his wounds the following day, and the incident was investigated as a homicide.

Detectives identified 29-year-old Dwayne Wright as a suspect, and investigators say the shooting grew out of an ongoing rivalry between Wright and Williams rather than being random. Wright left the country for Jamaica but was arrested upon returning to New York in September 2016 and charged with Williams’s murder; the matter then proceeded through the criminal justice system.

If anyone knew Lameak, witnessed the shooting, or has information about the rivalry mentioned, please share what is known with investigators.
