50-Year-Old Man Shot Dead on Queens Street; Love Triangle Investigated by Police
In a tragic incident on July 17, 2025, a 50-year-old man was fatally shot during an altercation on a dead-end street in College Point, Queens. Law enforcement officials are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting, with initial reports suggesting a possible motivation linked to a love triangle.
The victim sustained multiple gunshot wounds while near 119th Street and 28th Avenue, a location close to Flushing Bay. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) transported him to New York-Presbyterian Queens; however, he did not survive his injuries. Witnesses reported that the shooting occurred around 10:30 p.m., and first responders found the man with significant injuries to his chest and abdomen.
NYPD detectives swiftly apprehended the suspected shooter, believed to be the estranged husband of the victim’s girlfriend. According to police sources, the relationship between the victim and the girlfriend was ongoing, although the couple had not yet finalized their divorce. There remains uncertainty about whether the woman was present at the scene during the shooting.
The neighborhood where the incident took place is characterized by its quiet residential homes on one side and industrial facilities on the opposite side. This juxtaposition adds to the stark nature of the violence that occurred in this typically peaceful area.
As investigations continue, police have yet to file formal charges against the shooter, who reportedly fled the scene in a black SUV accompanied by two other individuals. The authorities are actively working to establish a clearer timeline of events and are conducting interviews with potential witnesses.
The identity of the victim has not been released to the public, as law enforcement efforts to notify family members are underway.
This incident is a disturbing reminder of the increasing violence plaguing urban areas, prompting community leaders and law enforcement to focus on proactive measures to enhance public safety. As details continue to emerge, the NYPD encourages anyone with information related to the incident to come forward to aid in their investigation.
