In the early hours of September 2, 2019, a tragic event unfolded in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, forever altering the lives of the Collado family. Danny Collado Jr., a 23-year-old man, was fatally shot in the torso near the intersection of Weirfield Street and Irving Avenue, just a mile from his home. The young man, who worked in the construction industry, was remembered by his loved ones as a cherished family member and friend.
Following the shooting, which occurred shortly
before 3:50 a.m., Collado's friends quickly took him to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center. Despite their swift actions and the efforts of the medical staff, his life could not be saved. Police were notified of the shooting when they were called to the hospital around 3:45 a.m.
The investigation into Danny Collado's death was immediately hampered by a lack of cooperation from the friends who brought him to the hospital. Their reluctance to provide information to the authorities created significant challenges for detectives trying to piece together the events that led to the fatal shooting. To date, no arrests have been made in connection with the murder, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The case remains unsolved, leaving a family and community still searching for answers and justice for a life cut short. Law enforcement continues to appeal to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough in the ongoing investigation.
