Robert Dejesus, 32, was killed after a baby shower in Rochdale Village, Queens. On June 28, 2015, at about 10 p.m., Dejesus was shot in the head and upper body on 166th Place and taken to Jamaica Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Investigators tied the shooting to a long-running dispute with a former friend, Brian White. That dispute reportedly dated to an incident two years earlier in which Dejesus had stabbed White in the leg. Witnesses said an argument between the men escalated after the baby shower and that White shot Dejesus multiple times as Dejesus tried to flee. White left New York for Raleigh, North Carolina, but was located and arrested in October 2015 and charged with second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

The first trial ended with a hung jury in December 2018; a second trial followed and in June 2019 Brian White was convicted of Dejesus’s murder. Did anyone in Rochdale Village see or hear details about the argument that night that could shed more light on what happened?
