On a Friday evening in September 2019, 24-year-old Riquelvin Burgos-Nunez of the Bronx was shot while driving on East 31st Street in Paterson, New Jersey, between 11th and 12th Avenues. After being struck, he drove a short distance and then crashed near Broadway and East 33rd Street.

Two unidentified people reportedly moved Burgos-Nunez from his vehicle into another car and drove him not to a hospital but to a nearby health facility in Rochelle Park, where he was pronounced dead. Investigators from the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office and the Paterson Police Department pursued leads; early reports mentioned a possible red Honda used by the shooter or shooters, but no arrests or suspect identities have been publicly announced.

Many basic questions remain: what preceded the shooting, who the two people who transported him were, and whether the red Honda lead developed further. Anyone with information about that September night or those involved is asked to come forward.
