Dune Janelle Jacobs, 31, was shot and killed in the Bronx during the early morning hours of a cold December day while leaving her apartment for a late-night snack. Police say the shooting was a case of mistaken identity: members of one street crew were seeking a rival and, according to the investigation, a car slowed, a man stepped out and fired, striking Jacobs. She was taken to a nearby hospital and later died. Jacobs had recently received a promotion at work and was planning to move to what she believed would be a safer neighborhood.

Authorities identified four men connected to the incident. Brendrick Diddy Brown was named as the shooter; Devon Jenkins was identified as the driver and was later convicted of murder in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon; Fabian Coke was a passenger and was also convicted, though his conviction was reversed and the indictment dismissed in spring 2025. Omar Hidalgo was tied to the case for renting the getaway car with fraudulent documents; his legal disposition is not detailed.

Did anyone know Dune or have information about that December night that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
