Nakender Bruno, 24, was killed in a shooting in Laurelton, Queens, in the early hours of Sunday, September 8, 2024. The DJ and two cousins had just finished a house party and were loading equipment into a van outside a residence on 220th Street near 133rd Avenue at about 1:04 a.m. when an unidentified gunman approached and opened fire.

Bruno suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the abdomen and was pronounced dead at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center. His two cousins, ages 24 and 33, were also shot — one in the neck and one in the torso — and were taken to area hospitals in stable condition. Investigators recovered a firearm believed to be connected to the shooting on a nearby property, and surveillance video captured the suspected shooter struggling to open a nearby yard gate shortly after the attack. No arrests have been announced and the motive remains unclear; the family says they do not know why he would have been targeted.

If anyone was at the house party or saw activity on 220th Street that night, please share what was seen or recorded.
