Lamar Moorer, 23, was killed on August 26, 2015, on East Burnside Avenue near Ryer Avenue in the West Bronx. The disagreement escalated when Moorer punched the man who had supplied the drug, and that man left briefly on a bicycle.

The supplier returned armed with a handgun and, finding Moorer unarmed and on his cellphone, shot him multiple times at point-blank range, continuing to fire after Moorer had fallen. The NYPD identified Jaquan Walters, then 23, as the primary suspect; Walters was arrested, convicted of Moorer’s murder and later received a 25-year sentence that included a related firearm murder charge tied to drug trafficking. An appeal arguing the killing was not premeditated was filed but the conviction and sentence were upheld.

Are there witnesses or local residents who remember the incident or the people involved that could add details to the timeline?
