Jorge Vazquez, 35, was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds outside Bethpage’s Extended Stay America on South Oyster Bay Road at around 9:40 p.m. Wednesday, April 2, as Daily Voice reported. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
On Monday, April, 7, Nassau County Police announced a reward of up to $5,000 was being offered through Crime Stoppers for information leading to an arrest.
Vazquez’ wife of 20 years, Muneca Vazzy, pleaded for answers on the agency’s Facebook page: “I need justice for my husband. He didn’t deserve this!”
She went on to question whether police were doing enough to catch her husband’s killer.
“I don’t understand why cameras are not being pulled from the motel!” she wrote. It was not immediately clear whether investigators had obtained surveillance footage from the motel. Daily Voice has reached out to police for comment.
Meanwhile, donations continue to pour in on a GoFundMe created to help the family cover funeral expenses and the cost of transferring Vazquez’ remains to his hometown of Tampa, Florida.
“Twenty-plus years of marriage gone in an instant,” Vazzy wrote. “This isn’t easy at all and I still can’t wrap my head around this. Anything will help. Please and thank you.”
Those interested in donating can do so via GoFundMe here.
Anyone with information in the case is asked to contact Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS or online.
