On the afternoon of May 5, 2015, a verbal dispute in broad daylight at the intersection of Whitney and Roosevelt avenues in Queens turned deadly for 38-year-old Jorge Manzanarez. Manzanarez was shot once in the chest and later pronounced dead at Elmhurst Hospital Center.

Authorities identified the shooter as 33-year-old Raul Zamora, a member of the Sureno 13 gang from Jackson Heights. Zamora, together with 35-year-old Isaac Martinez and a third, unidentified person, had been involved in the verbal altercation before Zamora produced a gun and fired the fatal shot. Zamora and Martinez were later arrested; a third individual in the confrontation has not been arrested.

Zamora pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and received a 13.5-year prison term plus five years of post-release supervision. Martinez pleaded guilty to second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison plus five years of post-release supervision. Did anyone in Queens that day see the third person who took part in the confrontation?
