On a Thursday evening in Brooklyn, the life of 31-year-old Gary Delima was cut short by gunfire. It was March 10, 2022, at approximately 7:12 p.m., when police responded to a 911 call on Willmohr Street in the East Flatbush neighborhood. There, they found Delima with multiple gunshot wounds. He was rushed to Brookdale Hospital, but his injuries proved fatal, and he was pronounced dead.
Known to his neighbors as 'Snap,' Delima was reportedly unloading his car when the shooting occurred.
The attack was described as a drive-by, with the perpetrator or perpetrators firing from a passing vehicle. In the immediate aftermath, the New York Police Department began an investigation into the deadly shooting, but no arrests were made at the time, and no suspects were publicly identified.
The investigation into Gary Delima's murder remains ongoing. As of late 2025, there has been no publicly available information regarding any arrests, the identification of any suspects, or a motive for the shooting. The case continues to be an open investigation, leaving a resolution for Delima and his family yet to be determined.
