On the afternoon of Thursday, October 22, 2015, 20-year-old Kimberly Amber Velasquez was walking on Waring Avenue near the Pelham Parkway Houses in the Bronx when a burst of gunfire struck her in the torso. She was taken to Jacobi Medical Center but died of her injuries. Investigators concluded Velasquez was an innocent bystander; the gunman had been aiming at a man walking with her, and police described the motive as tied to a love triangle.

Within days the NYPD arrested two men. On Saturday, October 24, 2015, police took 18-year-old Justin Mateo and 20-year-old Justin Campkin into custody after surveillance footage from cameras at the Pelham Parkway Houses helped identify them. Both were charged with murder in the second degree, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon.

If anyone knew Kimberly, the man she was with that afternoon, or saw activity on Waring Avenue that day, can you share what you remember?
