On August 5, 2015, police responded to a call and discovered the young man inside his basement apartment on Jamaica Avenue, near 212th Street. He had sustained gunshot wounds to his head and torso and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The initial investigation into the death of Jermain Gladimer, a male, began immediately, but authorities did not make any
immediate arrests. The circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting remained unclear in the hours and days that followed, leaving a community in search of answers.
As of late 2025, there have been no publicly announced arrests or identification of any suspects in connection with the murder of Jermain Gladimer.
