On the night of February 25, 2022, 25-year-old Shaquell Gainey was fatally shot in East Harlem. He had just stepped out of a liquor store on First Avenue near East 115th Street shortly before 11 p.m. when surveillance video shows a man approaching and opening fire. Wounded in the chest, Gainey returned to the liquor store for cover and then stumbled into a nearby deli, where he collapsed. Emergency crews transported him to Harlem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The NYPD launched a homicide investigation and released a description of the suspect: a slim-build male with a dark complexion, about 6 feet tall, seen wearing a black face mask, a black hooded jacket over an orange hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, and orange sneakers. The case remained without an arrest for over a year. Does anyone have information about the shooting or recall seeing someone matching the suspect description in the area that night?
