Gunman at Large After Queens Laundromat Worker Dominick Lowery Is Fatally Shot

Police are examining a dispute that began inside the 24-hour laundromat as they ask for tips to identify the shooter.

Overview

  • Dominick Lowery, 31, was shot in the head around 8:37–8:40 a.m. Saturday outside Wash & Fold Super Laundry at Conduit Plaza in Laurelton and later died at Jamaica Hospital.
  • Detectives say a confrontation started inside the laundromat and spilled outside, and no arrests have been made as the investigation continues.
  • Lowery worked the overnight shift for about three years and his mother, who also works there, was present when the shooting occurred.
  • Witnesses reported hearing a single gunshot and seeing a man in green camouflage running from the scene.
  • The Daily News reported the mother’s account of an earlier clash with a customer demanding free detergent, and a Post report cited an unconfirmed ‘free soap’ motive; police have not corroborated either claim.
