Felix Kumi, 61, was shot and killed on August 28, 2015, in Mount Vernon, New York, while walking to a repair shop to pick up his car. Kumi, a Jehovah’s Witness and long-time school bus driver, was an innocent bystander who was struck when an undercover NYPD operation to buy illegal firearms went wrong. An undercover officer had arranged to purchase guns from Jeffrey Aristy; Aristy brought Alvin Smothers to the meeting. Smothers displayed what looked like a handgun and robbed the officer of more than $2,000. As Smothers and Aristy fled, the undercover officer called for backup and fired; two bullets hit Kumi. He died at Jacobi Medical Center the following morning.

Investigators found the weapon used by Smothers was a replica BB gun. Both suspects were arrested: Aristy faced charges related to the sale of a firearm and a controlled substance, and Smothers, who was also wounded, was charged with second-degree murder under the felony murder rule. The undercover officer who fired the shots was not criminally charged. The city later agreed to a $1.1 million settlement with Kumi’s family.

Does anyone have information about Kumi’s movements that afternoon or witnessed the meeting on the street?
