As dawn broke on Monday, detectives and crime scene investigators were still processing evidence from the shooting at the large gathering on Prospect Avenue, located between East 70th Street and Gregory Boulevard.
Family members identified the deceased victim as Dyamund Shields Jr., who was operating his Chicken Mac-N-Cheese food truck at the time of the incident. Witnesses reported that Shields was serving food when the shooting began.

Another victim, found unresponsive a short distance from the scene, was also taken to the hospital but later succumbed to his injuries. In total, six individuals were affected by the gunfire, with one deceased and five others hospitalized in stable condition.
Detectives continue to investigate and are working to identify those involved in the shooting. As of now, no arrests have been made.
