Felton Durant, 23, was fatally shot on April 25, 2021, in front of 100 Centre Mall in the Red Hook Houses in Brooklyn. Three men approached Durant and a conversation turned into a dispute; one of the men opened fire, striking Durant multiple times in the torso, buttocks, and hand. A 28-year-old delivery worker was grazed by a stray bullet during the shooting. Durant was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police described the killing as connected to a gang- and drug-related dispute. Federal prosecutors charged members of a drug trafficking organization in the investigation. Two men, Danzel Mackins and Darrin Samuels, were charged in Durant’s murder; two others, Jamel Williams and Brandon Wilkins, were charged for their alleged roles in the related crack cocaine conspiracy. Prosecutors said Mackins and Samuels and their crew were searching for the leader of a rival drug crew but encountered Durant, a rival crew member who was not the leader, and shot him on sight. Mackins received a 30-year sentence and Samuels received a 20-year sentence for their roles in Durant’s killing.

Does anyone have information about Durant’s movements that afternoon or recall seeing activity around 100 Centre Mall that day?
