Eyewitnesses reported that the assailants, who were driving another vehicle, quickly approached Pierre’s car and opened fire, fatally shooting him. Police recovered nearly 30 rounds of spent ammunition at the crime scene, indicating the intensity of the attack.
Crime Scene Investigators were on the scene shortly after the incident occurred, and when Newsday reporters arrived, they found Pierre slumped over in the driver’s seat of his black car, with the driver’s door left ajar. The sight was a chilling reminder of the violence that plagues the area.
In a chilling display of the community’s reluctance to cooperate with the authorities, three men on Coffee Street claimed to have seen nothing and knew nothing about the incident. “There’s three things we don’t do. We don’t see nothing, we don’t hear nothing, and we don’t say nothing,” one of them coldly stated.
Meanwhile, on Legendre Street, a woman who had just returned home from work found herself within the police cordon. She witnessed the aftermath of the shooting, with Pierre’s vehicle riddled with bullet holes. Just a few steps away, Karamath’s Roti Shop carried on with business as usual, seemingly unfazed by the tragic event.

At the time, the police and Mendoza’s relatives believed that Pierre was the intended target of the attack. The incident left the community shocked and fearful, wondering who could be behind such violence.
