A sudden daytime shooting on a busy Queens street ended the life of 54-year-old James Edward Burnett Jr. in the spring of 2015. Burnett, who lived in Brooklyn, was in the Jamaica neighborhood around 12:45 p.m. on Sutphin Boulevard near 111th Avenue when a single gunshot struck his torso. He was taken to Jamaica Hospital but was pronounced dead there.

The NYPD responded and opened an investigation, but initial reports said no arrests were made and provided no explanation for what led to the shooting or who fired the shot.

If anyone was in the area that Saturday afternoon and saw something that could help, please share what was noticed.
