On October 17, 2015 at about 12:09 p.m., 32-year-old Robert Hale was standing at the corner of 107th Avenue and 164th Street in Jamaica, Queens when he was shot twice in the face in daylight. He was rendered unconscious and unresponsive; emergency medical personnel pronounced him dead at 12:15 p.m. The 103rd Precinct of the NYPD responded to 911 calls and opened a homicide investigation.

Investigators released surveillance photographs of a person of interest described as a man last seen wearing a blue button-up jacket over a green hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and dark-colored shoes, and asked the public for help identifying him. Despite those appeals, no public notice of an arrest or a confirmed identification of the suspect has been reported in the years after the shooting. Robert Hale was described as a family-oriented and loving father and husband.

Did anyone in the area at the time see the person in the surveillance images or have information about the shooting?
