Mohamed Hamwi, 48, was fatally shot shortly after midnight on March 11, 2014, near 105th Avenue and 173rd Street in Jamaica, Queens. An IT specialist of Syrian heritage who held Canadian citizenship, Hamwi was walking home from the Jamaica LIRR station after a late shift at his Manhattan job when he was struck by gunfire to the head and torso. He was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead.

Police found Hamwi’s wallet, with cash and credit cards, still on his person, so robbery did not appear to be the motive. Neighbors described him as quiet and kind; he lived in Queens with his husband and supported family in Syria.

If anyone saw Hamwi that night or has information about the shooting, please come forward with what was observed.
