In the early hours of a Saturday in November 2017, the life of 38-year-old Chaz Morrison was tragically cut short in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, New York. On November 4th, police responded to a 911 call reporting a person shot and discovered Morrison lying unconscious on the ground in front of a residence on 146th Terrace. He had sustained a gunshot wound to his torso.
Emergency services rushed him to Jamaica Hospital, but his injury proved fatal, and he was pronounced dead.
At the time of the incident, the New York Police Department had not identified a suspect or determined a motive for the shooting, leaving a void of information and a grieving family seeking answers. Morrison, a resident of Jamaica, was remembered by his two teenage sons as a man who had always been good to them and a source of encouragement in their lives. The profound loss was deeply felt by his loved ones.
Nearly a month after the fatal shooting, on December 1st, 2017, the NYPD announced that they were searching for a suspect in connection with Chaz Morrison's murder. Authorities released a description of the individual they were seeking: a man believed to be Hispanic and between the ages of 20 and 30. He was last seen wearing a blue hooded jacket and jeans. Despite this development in the investigation, there have been no subsequent public announcements regarding any arrests, and the case remains unresolved. The search for justice for Chaz Morrison continues.
