Police are looking to question a man about a deadly shooting from earlier this year.
Police say 22-year-old Keron Codd is wanted for questioning in the murder of Jensy Amparo, who was killed in his car during a robbery on March 21.
News 12 is told he was sitting in his car when a man walked up to the vehicle, opened the passenger door and demanded his ring at gunpoint.
The robbery happened near East 167th Street and Grand Concourse.
During that interaction police say the gunman shot Amparo in the shoulder, before taking off.
He was pronounced dead the next day.
Police are offering a $2,500 reward for information that leads to an arrest or indictment.
Codd is described as 5 feet 8 inches tall and around 160 pounds.
Anyone with information is asked to call police.
