Joel Rivera, 23, was fatally shot near his Bronx home late on the night of May 29, 2015. Police responded after gunfire was heard on Andrews Avenue at about 11 p.m. and found Rivera with a gunshot wound to his neck just steps from his building. He was taken to Saint Barnabas Hospital and pronounced dead.

Neighbors reported hearing shots and a car speeding away, and one described Rivera bleeding in the street while his mother cried for help. The scene showed multiple bullet strikes: a shattered car window and the glass front of Rivera’s building peppered with bullet holes. No arrests were made in the immediate aftermath and the investigation remained open.

If anyone knew Rivera, saw activity on Andrews Avenue that night, or has information about the vehicle or people involved, please come forward with what was seen.
