Daquan Gaskins was 22 when he was shot dead after a late-night dispute outside the Love Jones Café on Grand Avenue in Baldwin, New York. The confrontation began around 3:40 a.m. on August 2, 2014, in a fight that involved Gaskins and his cousin against another group of men. After the skirmish, one of the other men, identified as Dashawn Wade, went to a nearby parked vehicle, retrieved a .38-caliber revolver, returned and shot Gaskins once in the chest. A 39-year-old man was also shot in the leg and survived.

Gaskins, a Hempstead High School graduate who was living in Baltimore and working as a corrections officer at the time, was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead shortly afterward. Dashawn Wade was arrested on September 4, 2014, charged with second-degree murder; a co-defendant, Lyreil Moore, was arrested and later pleaded guilty to hindering prosecution. At sentencing in December 2016, Wade received 19 years in prison and Gaskins’ mother spoke in court about her loss.

Did anyone who knew Daquan or who was in Baldwin that night see what happened outside the club?
