Manzanarez was found with a gunshot wound to his torso in front of 93-12 Roosevelt Ave, near the intersection of Roosevelt Ave and 93rd Street, according to police.

EMS responded and transported him to Elmhurst General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Zamora is described as a 5 foot 9 inch, 145-pound Hispanic man. The police have released a photo, shown above.

According to reports the shooting was gang related, with Zamora being a member of the Sureno 13 gang.

The Johnnies lost just four games all season by seven points combined. St. John’s also went an undefeated 18-0 at home for the first time since 1931-32.
