Mayra's sister and brother, Sandra and Jose Ibarra, also lost their lives because of the shooting.

Freddy also identified the suspect as "Junior," Sandra Ibarra's boyfriend, New York Post reported. Freddy Marquez noted that he only met the gunman once, and they only knew him by his nickname.

The suspect was reported to have arrived at the birthday party shortly after midnight. He fired shots at the victims then took his own life after.

The authorities have not yet identified the motive for the shooting. USA Today noted that a mobile crime lab was parked outside the residence, which was surrounded by police tape. By mid-afternoon, the police tape was removed.
