Authorities ask for help in solving 2020 murder of off duty NYC correction officer

Authorities are asking the public for information that may lead to the solving of a 2020 cold case murder of a correction officer in Queens. Off-duty officer John Jeff was found unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds in South Jamaica on Aug. 15, 2020 at the corner of Defoe and Ridgedale Streets in Springfield Gardens. Medics transported the 28-year-old to Jamaica Hospital where he was later pronounced dead, according to the NYPD. The shooting was caught on a nearby security camera which was not previously released publicly by investigators.

I urge anyone with any information regarding the August 15, 2020, homicide of John Jeff to come forward and help us bring justice for John and his loved ones.”
