Idriss Cherif El Farissy, 28, was shot and killed outside his Bronx home in the early morning hours of July 23, 2024. Returning from a Papa John’s delivery shift and speaking with his wife by phone as he parked near East 176th Street and Mohegan Avenue, his call abruptly ended and his wife then heard gunfire. Surveillance footage shows a gunman in a black hoodie approach, shoot him in the head, search his pockets, and flee on a bicycle. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

El Farissy had moved to the Bronx with his wife in October 2023 and worked a second job delivering for Papa John’s while also having been a provider contracts manager at Emblem Health after earning a finance degree from Baruch College. Colleagues described him as cheerful, multilingual, and devoted to his family; he had been Employee of the Month twice during eight months at the pizzeria.

The NYPD released the surveillance video while investigating. Is anyone in the neighborhood aware of sightings or information about that night or the suspect seen on the footage?
