In the early hours of a late summer morning in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the life of 36-year-old Herbie Gonzalez was tragically cut short. Just before 1 a.m. on August 24, 2015, the sound of gunfire echoed in front of a public housing complex. When police officers responded to a 911 call, they found Gonzalez with gunshot wounds to his head and body. He was rushed to a local hospital, but his injuries proved to be fatal.
The investigation into the violent death of the male victim led police
to a suspect. On September 4, 2015, the New York Police Department announced the arrest of 20-year-old Bonitti Cook. Authorities believe Cook was the individual who fatally shot Gonzalez. Cook was subsequently charged with murder and weapons possession in connection with the incident.
