Queens Daylight Shooting Leaves 2 Dead, 1 Wounded

Yesterday afternoon, a gunman opened fire on a corner in the Jamaica section of Queens, near a housing project, around 4:45 p.m. Off-duty MTA bus driver Andre Saunders Jr. and Lemarr Wilson were killed, while a 17-year-old was injured. According to the NY Times, Saunders "was well-liked in the community and was also known for filming videos for local musicians and rappers, friends and relatives said." It's believed he was filming a video during the time of the shooting. The MTA Bus Company called Saunders a "valued employee" and his sister told NY1, "He was a genuine uncle, a genuine brother, a genuine husband, and a genuine friend. He wasn't a gangster or drug dealer. He had a job."
