On a Sunday evening in April 2015, 30-year-old Steven McKoy was fatally shot in the Cypress Hills neighborhood of Brooklyn. The male Canarsie resident was on Jamaica Avenue at approximately 7 p.m. when the violent encounter unfolded. Surveillance video from the scene captured a harrowing chase, showing a man in a hoodie pursuing McKoy while firing a weapon.
The chaotic footage showed bystanders desperately seeking safety as the gunman continued his pursuit.
McKoy was struck in the head and torso during the attack. He was quickly transported to Brookdale Hospital, but the severity of his wounds was too great, and he was pronounced dead.
In the wake of the deadly shooting, the New York City Police Department began an investigation, releasing the surveillance video to the public in an effort to identify the person responsible. Authorities announced that they were searching for two men, both of whom were seen wearing dark-colored hoodies. Despite the public appeal for information and the existence of the video evidence, there have been no publicly reported arrests in connection with the murder of Steven McKoy. The case remains unsolved, leaving questions about the circumstances that led to the violent end of a young man's life on a Brooklyn street.
