Robin Wright, 69, was killed on the afternoon of August 27, 2025, in East Harlem after a stray bullet struck her in the face while she was walking with a friend near East 110th Street and Madison Avenue. Wright, who used a walker, had just picked up lunch and was crossing the block when a shootout erupted down the street following a robbery. Her friend Juanita Arnold said Wright’s last word was ’Yeah’ when asked if she had been shot. Wright was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead.

Neighbors described Wright as a kind, caring fixture in the neighborhood; makeshift memorials appeared at the scene and her walker was left on the sidewalk as a remembrance. The NYPD said surveillance footage showed a man in a black hoodie firing a rapid succession of shots. Within days an 18-year-old, Faisil McCants, was arrested; police alleged he fired about 15 rounds from a machine gun during a confrontation that began when McCants and two others robbed a man of backpacks containing marijuana. McCants faces federal robbery and machine-gun charges and murder charges from the NYPD, and investigators are searching for the other suspects.

Does anyone who was in the area that afternoon or who knew Robin have information that could help fill in what happened?
