On an autumn evening in Brooklyn, the life of 21-year-old Sabrina Moreno was tragically cut short. On October 5, 2018, Moreno was walking along Van Siclen Avenue in the East New York neighborhood when she was fatally shot. The incident occurred between Pitkin and Belmont avenues, sending shockwaves through the community. Emergency services arrived at the scene to find Moreno unconscious, and she was quickly transported to a nearby hospital.
Despite the efforts of medical professionals, she succumbed to her injuries.
In the initial stages of the investigation, law enforcement sources indicated that they were considering Moreno's ex-boyfriend as a person of interest in the case. However, no immediate arrests were made following the shooting. The investigation into her death remained active and ongoing, leaving her family searching for answers and justice. At the time of her death, Moreno had been residing in a women's shelter in Sunset Park.
Years after her death, Sabrina Moreno's case remains unsolved, and no arrests have been publicly announced. Her mother, Silma Jones, has continued to advocate for her daughter, making efforts to ensure that her case is not forgotten by the authorities or the public. Jones has expressed her belief that someone has information that could lead to a breakthrough in the investigation. In her quest for justice, she has persistently communicated with law enforcement and sought to keep her daughter's story alive in the media, hoping that renewed attention might bring forth new leads.
