On the night of March 31, 2023, a burst of gunfire on an Astoria, Queens street left two young men dead. Around 10:30 p.m. in front of 24-15 Steinway Street, 22-year-old Bronx resident Xavier Roberts and 21-year-old Jaheim Hamilton were walking together when three individuals ambushed them. Two assailants opened fire, striking both men multiple times in the torso. Roberts was found at the scene; Hamilton was located around the corner after apparently seeking refuge inside 24-35 38th Street. Both were taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst and pronounced dead.

Witnesses reported a rapid succession of shots, with one estimate as high as 20 rounds. Investigators said they believed the victims were targeted and described the suspects fleeing eastbound on the Grand Central Parkway in a red Jeep Grand Cherokee with a red and black hood. Surveillance images of the suspects and vehicle were released as police appealed for help identifying those responsible.

Did anyone in the area that night see the Jeep, the suspects, or anything else that could help identify who carried out the shooting?
