A midday shooting on February 1, 2022, turned a busy East Harlem corner into a crime scene. Davantay Butts, 26, was struck multiple times in the chest near East 103rd Street and Third Avenue and was rushed to Metropolitan Hospital, where he died. Reports say the attack happened in broad daylight near the NYCHA Washington Houses, within a block of where he lived.

A woman who had been walking with Butts was also wounded in the same burst of gunfire. Witnesses and responders described a chaotic scene as officers and EMS arrived; investigators say the shooter slipped away before being caught. Police circulated a suspect description of a man in a black bubble jacket with brown fur, last seen fleeing on foot, and asked anyone with information to contact the NYPD tip line.

Does anyone who was in that area that morning or who knew Davantay have information that could help the investigation?
