Late on June 3, 2015, gunfire struck a parked Chevrolet TrailBlazer on Davidson Street in Wyandanch, New York. Inside were 25-year-old William Madrey and three women; Madrey and two passengers, 23-year-old Stephanie Almedina Rivera and 23-year-old Ciara Smith, were killed. A fourth woman was wounded and survived. Madrey, a father and aspiring rap artist who had recently moved to the neighborhood, was found near the driver’s seat of the borrowed vehicle.

Suffolk County police described Madrey as a self-admitted member of the Bloods, while his family said he was focused on his growing family and not involved in gang activity. Investigators treated the shooting as possibly gang-related and canvassed the area, offering a cash reward for tips, but the case went cold amid a reported no-snitching culture and no arrests were ever made.

In July 2015 three people, including Madrey’s housemate and music partner Dominic Peterson, were charged in an unrelated kidnapping and assault; Peterson’s lawyer said Peterson believed the man with the kidnapped woman, Justin Rivera, was tied to the June 3 killings, but authorities did not confirm Rivera as a suspect. Does anyone have information about that night or about William Madrey and the two women who were killed?
