Francisco Fuentes Rangel, 59, was fatally shot outside a migrant shelter in Clinton Hill on July 21, 2024. Two assailants on a moped reportedly pulled up to the shelter on Ryerson Street and opened fire; Fuentes Rangel was struck in the head and died in hospital after several days. Another shelter resident, 21-year-old Enny DeJesus Urbina Mendez, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say the moped believed to have been used in the attack crashed a few blocks away into another vehicle. The moped driver, 26-year-old Jorge Said Benitez Villa, was injured, taken into custody, and arrested on July 24 and charged with two counts of murder. The passenger, believed to be the gunman, fled and remained at large as of late July 2024. Authorities have said they are investigating a possible gang-related motive.

Anyone with information about the shooting, the moped, or the passenger who fled is asked to come forward.
