On the night of September 7, 2022, 28-year-old Shaimel Kyser was fatally shot in East New York, Brooklyn. The shooting occurred at about 11:15 p.m. in front of a residence on Sheffield Avenue near Hegeman Avenue. Kyser suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators recovered two shell casings where the shooting happened.

Kyser was a father to a 10-year-old daughter who had just started a new school year; his family described him as a devoted family man while also noting a past that included gang involvement and a prior drug conviction. The shooting was one of two fatal shootings in the 75th Precinct within about four hours, but police said the incidents were not believed to be connected. No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified and the motive remains unclear. Police have asked the public for information.
