Jeremiah Cummings, 37, was fatally shot in Harlem on the afternoon of July 2, 2024. He was with a group of men on West 118th Street and 8th Avenue when a car drove by and a passenger fired into the group. A bullet struck Cummings in the torso; he dragged himself behind a parked vehicle before collapsing and was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. The other men escaped unharmed.

The driver’s passenger was identified as 21-year-old Mohamed Sawaneh. After the shooting, Sawaneh fled in the vehicle, crashed into another car at West 118th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue, injuring the other driver, then abandoned the car and robbed a 13-year-old of a Citi Bike at West 118th Street and Lenox Avenue to continue fleeing. Investigators say Sawaneh had photographed the group minutes before the shooting.

Law enforcement tracked Sawaneh to Ohio; he was arrested when he returned to a Chinatown bus terminal on August 13, 2024, and was indicted on murder and criminal possession of a weapon charges in Cummings’s death. Did anyone in the area see the car or the shooting that afternoon?
