In the quiet residential neighborhood of Ozone Park, Queens, the evening of February 15, 2017, was shattered by an act of violence that claimed the life of 22-year-old Craig Days. That evening, at approximately 6:20 p.m., police responded to a 911 call reporting a man shot inside a vehicle. Upon arrival at 116-36 Van Wyck Expressway, officers discovered Days in a car, suffering from devastating gunshot wounds to his head and neck.
Paramedics rushed the young man to Jamaica Hospital in a
desperate attempt to save his life. For two days, he clung to life, but the severity of his injuries proved insurmountable. On February 17, 2017, Craig Days succumbed to his wounds, and a homicide investigation was launched into his untimely death. The initial investigation by the New York Police Department sought to piece together the events that led to the fatal shooting.
In the immediate aftermath of the incident, authorities worked to uncover a motive and identify any potential suspects. However, the case proved to be a challenging one. As of early March 2017, the investigation was reported to be ongoing, but no arrests had been made in connection with the murder of Craig Days. Years have passed since the shooting, and the case has grown cold, leaving a family without answers and a community searching for justice. The circumstances surrounding the death of the young Queens man remain an unsolved mystery, with no suspects publicly identified or brought to justice for the crime.
