Derrick Sanders, 42, was shot and killed on the Coney Island Boardwalk in Brooklyn late on Saturday, August 27, 2022. Sanders, a construction worker who lived about a block from the boardwalk and had been part of the neighborhood for nearly a decade, was struck in the back shortly before midnight. He was taken to NYU Langone–Brooklyn and died of his injuries; four other people—a 49-year-old woman, a 46-year-old man, a 34-year-old woman and another man—were wounded and expected to recover.

Family and coworkers remembered Sanders as a hardworking, laid-back family man who lived for his wife and their teenage children and was due to celebrate his daughter’s 26th birthday the next day. Police believe the shots may have been fired from a distance, possibly from the nearby Coney Island Houses NYCHA complex a block away. The investigation is ongoing; no arrests or public identifications of suspects have been announced.

Did anyone on the boardwalk that night or in the Coney Island Houses area see or hear anything that could help investigators?
