A late-evening dispute on June 19, 2023, in Harlem ended with the death of 38-year-old Paul Polo Gonzalez. Police found Gonzalez just before 10 p.m. in front of his apartment building at 230 West 140th St., suffering a fatal gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to Harlem Hospital but did not survive.

Investigators identified a neighbor, 29-year-old Freddie Gaetan, who lived nearby, as a suspect. Police located Gaetan at a motor inn in Stony Point, Rockland County, and the NYPD Warrant Squad, with Stony Point Police cooperation, arrested him. He was charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon and was scheduled for arraignment in New York County Criminal Court.

If anyone knew Paul Gonzalez, his routines, or the relationship between Gonzalez and Gaetan, please share what might help the ongoing case.
