Shalimar Birkett, 32, was fatally shot while attending a vigil in the Weeksville neighborhood of Brooklyn on the night of May 17, 2021. About 60 to 70 people had gathered on Park Place to mourn a friend, Miles Bobbsemple, who had been killed earlier that night. Just after 11 p.m., witnesses say a white or silver sedan drove past the mourners and occupants fired nine or ten shots into the crowd. Birkett was found lying in the street with a gunshot wound to her head, taken to Brookdale Hospital, and pronounced dead.

The NYPD said investigators did not believe Birkett was the intended target and described the shooting as gang-related, with the perpetrators possibly returning after the earlier killing of Bobbsemple. Police released surveillance footage of a silver SUV and sought the public’s help identifying the vehicle and its occupants. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved, leaving her two young sons and her family without answers.

Did anyone who attended the vigil or lives near Park Place that night see the vehicle or its occupants?
