A dispute over a few hundred dollars in unpaid rent ended in fatal violence for 29-year-old Danielle Parker of Brooklyn. The tenant had been evicted from the family’s Dumont Avenue home in East New York for failing to pay rent. On the evening of October 16, 2022, the former tenant’s boyfriend, Trevlon Marshall, began sending threatening texts and making aggressive phone calls to Parker’s family. Parker was shot in the neck outside the family residence, taken to Brookdale University Hospital, and died there on October 22, 2022, after six days on life support.

Police say the shooter fled to Trinidad and Tobago after the shooting. The NYPD later pursued charges upon his return to Brooklyn; Marshall was charged with murder and manslaughter in connection with Parker’s death. The shooting left Parker’s family, including her young daughter, grieving a loss that began with a rent dispute.

Does anyone have information about the events on or around Dumont Avenue on October 16, 2022, that could help clarify what happened?
