A late-night shooting at a Bronx deli ended the life of 24-year-old Dayquon Simmons on March 19, 2023. Witnesses or bystanders called 911 after shots rang out inside the White Plains Road establishment around 11:48 p.m. Simmons suffered a gunshot wound to his torso and was taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi, where he was pronounced dead. A 42-year-old man was also hit in the right leg and taken to Montefiore Medical Center in stable condition.

Investigators arrested two men in the months after the killing: 24-year-old Leon Smith of the Bronx on April 19, 2023, and 34-year-old Angel Pagan of New York on July 5, 2023; both were charged with murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon. On July 19, 2023, police released photographs of another person of interest they hoped the public could identify and locate for questioning.

Anyone with information about that person of interest or the shooting is asked to come forward.
