Victims

Occurred on Nov 28, 1995

A 17-year-old student was shot to death yesterday in a confrontation with at least two young men minutes after he abruptly walked out of class at his high school in Jamaica, Queens. The victim, Quentin Gamble of 138-07 Lakewood Avenue in Jamaica, was shot by one of two youths who pursued him after he and his assailants got out of a car that stopped by a park and playground a short distance from the school. Mr. Gamble was struck in the head, chest and groin by bullets fired from a .25-caliber semiautomatic pistol, said the Chief of Patrol, Wilbur L. Chapman. He died a few hours later at Mary Immaculate Hospital nearby, where surgeons had tried to save his life. Learn More (nytimes.com)
