Jonathan Wade, a 55-year-old respiratory therapist, was fatally shot in Hempstead, New York, on June 30, 2015, after a confrontation tied to an assault on his 77-year-old mother, Betty Cater. The previous day Cater was reportedly assaulted outside a property she owned on Albermarle Avenue. Wade went to confront the youths believed responsible and was arrested on charges including reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon; he was released the next day.

According to reports, Wade called 911 to report a disturbance and drove past the same group on the evening of June 30 when someone opened fire, striking him and his car. He managed to drive about three blocks before crashing through a fence into middle school bleachers; three children nearby were injured. Wade was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. The Nassau County Police Department treated the shooting as a homicide and offered a reward for information, but no arrests were announced in connection with his killing.

Did anyone in Hempstead see Wade’s car or the people he confronted that night who could add details to the timeline?
