A deadly dispute in a Queens apartment building lobby ended two lives in late January 2015. On the night of January 25, 20-year-old Sean Van Williams was shot in the head during an exchange of gunfire inside a building on 127th Avenue in Rochdale Village. Another victim, 24-year-old Rendell Cassimy, was pronounced dead at the scene. Sean Van Williams was taken to Jamaica Hospital and died five days later from his injuries.

The NYPD identified 23-year-old Shane Van Williams, described as 5 feet 10 inches and about 190 pounds, as a suspect. Investigators say Shane produced a firearm during the dispute and opened fire, striking both his brother and Cassimy; those involved fled before police arrived.

If anyone knew Sean or has information about the shooting or the people involved, please share what is known with the NYPD.
