New York police have released a sketch of a man wanted for questioning in the shooting death of John F. Kennedy customs agent Maurice "Big Mo" Gordon early Monday morning.

Gordon, married and the father of a 14-month old daughter, was gunned down in hail of bullets in front of his father's Jamaica, Queens home on 118th Avenue in front of his cousin who was visiting from Gordon's native country, Jamaica.

Police say Gordon, who was taken to Jamaica Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival, died of a fatal gunshot wound to the chest in what may have been a revenge killing after Gordon and a man exchanged words at a Long Island nightclub after the man allegedly harassed the customs agent's cousin. Witnesses say between 20 and 30 shots may have been fired.

Police say the suspect is a man between the ages of 28 and 32, standing 5'10'' to 6'0'' tall with a thin build and black hair.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call Crime stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime stoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
