Jose Velasquez, 19, was shot and killed in the early hours of Easter Sunday 2015 in the Bronx. He was found with gunshot wounds to his torso and neck at an intersection in the Mount Hope neighborhood and was pronounced dead after being taken to St. Barnabas Hospital.

Police identified 21-year-old Robert Collazo as a suspect and arrested him on April 9, 2015 after an eyewitness identified him as the shooter. Collazo was held at Rikers Island while the case moved through the courts. In December 2017 a Bronx jury convicted Collazo of second-degree murder; the defense had questioned the police identification procedures during the trial.

If anyone saw activity in Mount Hope on that Easter morning or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
