Allen McQueen was 21 when he was fatally shot while holding his one-year-old daughter on Taylor Avenue in the Bronx on July 7, 2015. The child was physically unharmed but fell to the ground covered in her father’s blood after the brazen daylight attack.

Police described the killing as part of a violent feud between rival street gangs. McQueen was identified as a member of the Taylor Crew; authorities linked the shooting to the Leland Avenue Crew and named 22-year-old James Capers as the primary suspect. Witnesses reported seeing the gunman flee in a Mercedes-Benz and an eyewitness later identified Capers at the scene.

Capers was arrested on July 15, 2015, and charged with second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon.
