John Chi Chi Salazar, 32, of Queens, NY, was killed on November 24, 2014. Known to family as Chi Chi, he had recently started a cleaning business with his girlfriend and was described by relatives as a devoted father working to better his life.

Salazar was lured to the home of his ex-girlfriend, Kelly Spinelli-Josek, under the pretense of a drug transaction. Spinelli-Josek allegedly conspired with Shannon Sornoza and Jesus Matos to stage a robbery and steal $2,400 Salazar was carrying; the plan reportedly included holding a BB gun to Spinelli-Josek to make the setup look real. During the attempted theft a struggle occurred and one of the robbers shot Salazar in the head, killing him.

Police arrested Spinelli-Josek, Sornoza, and Matos on November 26, 2014, charging them with second-degree murder, burglary, and robbery. Did anyone in Queens know Salazar or have information about the events that night?
