Clarisa Burgos, who was sitting in the passenger seat of a black Honda sedan, was tragically killed in the incident near 127th Street and Liberty Avenue in Richmond Hill. The attack occurred shortly before midnight and also left the 39-year-old driver wounded. Clarisa, leaving behind a 4-year-old son, was struck by a gunshot to the head and passed away at the scene.
Security camera footage shows two individuals dressed in dark clothing crossing the street toward the vehicle, while a third person walks alongside the car on the sidewalk. In a shocking moment, one of the suspects draws a weapon and fires multiple shots at the driver’s window, while another shoots from behind.
The injured driver, in a desperate attempt to flee, accelerates the vehicle while one of the gunmen, who was walking on the sidewalk, runs ahead of the car and fires more shots through the windshield and driver’s window.
After the attack, the three armed men quickly flee the scene, leaving the victim’s car standing in the middle of the street for a few seconds before driving away. The driver, hit six times in the torso, was rushed to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center and is in stable condition. Clarisa was pronounced dead at the scene.
As of Wednesday night, no arrests had been made, and the motive behind this terrifying attack remains unknown. It’s also unclear what the relationship was between Clarisa and the driver.
This shocking incident draws attention to the ongoing gun violence in the city and leaves a grieving community seeking answers and justice for Clarisa and her son.
