Jeremy Cancel, 34, was killed after a clash that followed Puerto Rican Day parade activities in the Bronx. On June 11, 2023, a dispute reportedly over a minor car accident turned violent near 1787 West Farms Road. At about 9:15 p.m., gunfire erupted and officers from the 42nd Precinct found Cancel with a gunshot wound to his torso. He was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital and pronounced dead.

Two other 29-year-old men were wounded in the same shooting; one had a torso wound and the other was shot in the buttocks. Both were transported to St. Barnabas Hospital in stable condition. Arrests were later announced: 29-year-old Javier Munoz of Castle Hill and 22-year-old Joshua Rivera of Queens were taken into custody and charged with murder, manslaughter, and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in connection with Cancel’s death.

Known as Big Red, Cancel lived in Yonkers and left behind a fiancée and two young children. Friends described him as happy and funny and not prone to trouble. If anyone saw what happened that evening or knew Jeremy, please come forward with information.
