Jafre Waugh, an 18-year-old resident of the NYCHA Woodside Houses in Queens, was shot and killed just after midnight on Sunday, June 7, 2026, near 31-07 49th Street close to 31st Avenue. Police found him with gunshot wounds to the chest and back after a 911 call reporting an assault; five shell casings were recovered at the scene. Emergency crews transported Waugh to NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst, where he was pronounced dead.

Witness accounts and police reports say four males rode up on scooters or mopeds, opened fire on Waugh as he stood in front of his home, then fled. No arrests or suspect names have been released, and authorities had not publicly identified a motive as of the latest reports. The shooting turned a familiar block of the Woodside Houses into a homicide scene in the early hours of that Sunday.

Did anyone in Woodside see those scooters or have information about the four men who fled the scene?
