On the afternoon of June 28, 2023, 17-year-old Trequan Wingfield was shot near his home at 2971 Frederick Douglass Blvd in Washington Heights. Shots were fired just before 4 p.m. while he was with friends; at least one bullet struck him in the chest. Paramedics transported the critically wounded teen to Harlem Hospital, where he later died. Police marked six shell casings at the scene, and a 16-year-old brother who had been with him escaped unharmed.

Investigators said a person wearing an all-blue outfit, possibly a tracksuit, was seen fleeing southbound on Eighth Avenue. Within days a 16-year-old male was taken into custody and charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon; his name was not released because of his age. The motive remained unclear in the initial investigation.

If anyone knew Trequan, witnessed the shooting, or saw someone fleeing the area that afternoon, please share what can help the case.
