Daquon Powell, 19, was shot and killed on the evening of May 31, 2023, in Yonkers, New York. He was sitting behind the wheel of a black sedan on Morris Street after stopping in front of a residence around 8:20 p.m. An assailant ran to the driver’s side window and fired multiple shots; Powell was struck six times in the abdomen and his 18-year-old passenger was wounded once in the leg. First responders found Powell unresponsive and performed CPR before he was taken to a hospital, where he died.

Investigators described the killing as a targeted, gang-related ambush. Detectives said the gunman and two accomplices had been lying in wait in a nearby driveway. The probe linked the shooting to other recent gang-related incidents in the area; police reported the primary shooter was from out of state and that the same weapon may have been used in a June 4 shooting elsewhere. Within days, authorities identified and arrested a 20-year-old from Danbury, Connecticut, and also arrested two juveniles from Yonkers who were present during the ambush and connected to another shooting on Livingston Avenue.
