On the evening of November 30, 1981, 34-year-old George Spencer, a Black/African American United States Customs Patrol Officer and Army veteran, was shot and killed in Queens, New York. Spencer had finished his shift at Kennedy Airport and was visiting a friend when his car alarm went off. He went to investigate and encountered two men attempting to steal his vehicle; one was armed and shots were fired.

Although off duty, Spencer drew his service weapon and pursued the suspects into a nearby alley, where a firefight ensued and he was fatally wounded. The two assailants fled the scene and their identities remain unknown. Spencer left behind a wife and child.

The murder investigation was opened but, as of the information provided, no arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved. Does anyone have information about that night or the two men seen trying to steal Officer Spencer’s car?
