Leony Cabrera, a 24-year-old Hispanic man and father who worked as an auto technician, was fatally shot on August 16, 2023, in Central Falls, Rhode Island. Police found him deceased in the driver’s seat of a white Toyota that had crashed into a parked vehicle at the intersection of Garfield Street and Fuller Avenue. He had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

A second 24-year-old man at the scene suffered gunshot wounds and was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The Central Falls Police Department, Rhode Island State Police and the Attorney General’s office opened a joint investigation. Authorities urged anyone with information to come forward and offered anonymity to tipsters, but in the weeks after the shooting no motive or suspects were publicly released and no arrests had been announced as of late September 2023.

If anyone has information about what happened at Garfield Street and Fuller Avenue on the evening of August 16, 2023, please come forward to the investigators.
