A teenager’s life was cut tragically short in a late-night shooting that left a community in shock and a mother with a heartbreak no parent should ever face. Seventeen-year-old Neo Secaira was fatally shot in Bayside, Queens, alongside 28-year-old U.S. Marine Frank Liu. Police believe the deadly encounter was fueled by jealousy tied to a complex love triangle involving a 19-year-old woman who had recently broken up with Frank and started seeing Neo.
The woman was reportedly present during the confrontation. Neo had left work early that night after receiving a call from her—unaware it would be the last time he walked out the door. His mother, Yolanda, learned about his death in the most haunting way—when the mother of the alleged shooter rang her doorbell with an unimaginable message.
