Gibson Winters, a 39-year-old man from the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn in New York City, was shot and killed in the early hours of Sunday, November 23, 2025, near the intersection of West 46th Street and 12th Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen after leaving the Harbor NYC Club, and public reporting has not yet specified his race or ethnicity. According to police and local coverage, officers responded at around 4:10–4:15 a.m.
to reports of gunfire and found Winters on the street with multiple gunshot wounds to his back and groin. He was rushed by emergency medical personnel to Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
In the days following the shooting, more emerged about who Winters was. Within the New York and online hip-hop communities he was better known as “Get Lo,” a Brooklyn rapper who had been building his career and maintaining connections that reportedly included ties to the late Nipsey Hussle’s circle. Friends and coverage on hip-hop sites describe him as a devoted father to young daughters who had spoken publicly and in court filings about how much they meant to him, emphasizing that he loved his children “more than life itself” and wanted to use music as a way to turn his life around after a prior federal drug-conspiracy case linked to the Rollin 60 Crips.
Accounts from eyewitnesses and those close to Winters suggest the shooting may have grown out of a confrontation that did not originally involve him. Reporting from a hip-hop news outlet, citing witnesses, states that an argument or dispute involving a woman broke out near the club and that Winters stepped in to defend someone who was being attacked. His attorney, Camille Russell, characterized the killing as a “senseless act of violence” and stressed that Winters had no prior involvement in the conflict that preceded the gunfire. This portrait contrasts sharply with the violent nature of his death: a man trying to distance himself from his past, intervening in what appeared to be someone else’s dispute, only to be struck by the bullets that ended his life in the middle of a Manhattan street.
Law-enforcement sources say that, as of the most recent public updates, the investigation into Winters’s killing remains open and unresolved. Initial statements from the NYPD and subsequent summaries of those statements indicate that detectives have not yet made any arrests in the case and that no detailed description of a suspect has been released. Officials have publicly acknowledged that they are still working to determine the motive and to identify whoever pulled the trigger. In contrast to a separate Bronx shooting that occurred later the same day, where multiple people were reported to be in custody, authorities have emphasized that Winters’s case is still without a named suspect.
Community reaction underscores how deeply the loss has been felt. Memorial pages dedicated to Winters list him among those “lost to gun violence” in New York on November 23, 2025, and gather messages, virtual candles, and shared memories from friends, fans, and relatives. A candlelight vigil drew roughly a hundred mourners, many of whom lit blue and white candles in his memory and remembered him by his nickname, “Lo,” while lamenting the fact that his efforts to rebuild his life and focus on his children and music were cut short before anyone has been held accountable.
