Richard Salvia, 50, was working as a food delivery driver for the Crown Palace restaurant in Staten Island in spring 2014. On the evening of April 1, he drove to a delivery address on Grandview Avenue in the Mariners Harbor neighborhood, a dead-end street known in the area for robberies of delivery drivers. Unaware of the danger, Salvia was ambushed by three teenagers who had placed a fake order to lure a delivery driver.

The suspects later said the gun went off when Salvia jumped back; he was shot in the head, found lying in the street with bags of Chinese food nearby, and pronounced dead at Richmond University Medical Center. The assailants fled, leaving over one hundred dollars and car keys in Salvia’s pockets.

Surveillance footage and interviews identified Sanders, Carty, and Hill as suspects; all three were arrested and charged in connection with the robbery and killing. How many readers remember the Mariners Harbor block where delivery drivers were targeted, or have information about that night?
