From The Queens Chronicle:
Over a year after a 20-year-old man was killed in Richmond Hill, police are on the hunt for two additional suspects after one was tracked down in Vermont.
In March 2023, at 109-27 Jamaica Ave., formerly the Plug Smoke Shop, which has since closed, Daryus Clarke of Dillon Street in Jamaica was shot in the chest. He later was pronounced dead at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center.
At the time, it was determined three unknown male individuals were involved and none were immediately apprehended, as they fled in a white Toyota 4-door sedan.
In August, 24-year-old Albert Edwards of the Bronx was apprehended and charged with murder, robbery and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the incident.
Last week, police announced that a 16-year-old male also had been arrested in connection with the March 18 murder. The NYPD did not identify the teen, who was charged with second-degree murder, robbery and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree.
News publications identified the teen as 16-year-old as Christian Concepcion of the Bronx, and said he was apprehended in the city of Enosburgh, Vt., in April. He was transferred back to New York on May 10, according to Vermont corrections data.
“Mr. Concepcion had an outstanding warrant for second-degree murder in New York and he was located in Enosburgh, Vermont,” Franklin County State’s Attorney Bram Kranichfeld told WCAX, a Vermont news station.
Concepcion is also a person of interest in two homicide-related investigations in Burlington last year, authorities told the Vermont Daily Chronicle.
Pursuant to the ongoing investigation here in Queens, authorities identified Nestor Peters, 18, and Dekari Smith, 18, as individuals wanted for Clarke’s murder.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 577-TIPS (8477), or, for Spanish, 1 (888) 57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit tips by logging onto nypdcrimestoppers.com, or by texting 274637 (CRIMES) and then entering TIP577, or by going to @nypdtips on X. All tips are strictly confidential.

Thoughts? As far as I can tell, Smith and Peters are still at large as of today’s posting date (May 24th, 2024) since the above article is from only one week ago with no updates about a capture(s) that I could find online since. However, if that status has since changed and/or changes in the future, anyone is more than welcome to let us know.
