In the early morning around 1:30 a.m. on a late March day in South Jamaica, Queens, 71-year-old grandmother Leta Webb answered frantic knocking at her door and was shot. She suffered wounds to the head and left arm, was taken to Jamaica Hospital, and died a few hours later. Her son-in-law, Kevin McDowell, who had been asleep in the house, heard the knocking and four or five gunshots before finding her on the porch in a pool of blood.

Family members maintained Webb was not the intended target. Her daughter, Eva Usher, said the attack appeared tied to troubles involving children Webb had adopted and gang activity between the Bloods and Crips, and that the gunman likely knew the neighborhood well. In late April 2015, police arrested 22-year-old Julian Douglas and charged him with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the killing.

Does anyone in South Jamaica remember unusual activity near Leta Webb’s home that night or know more about the neighborhood path the shooter may have used?
