A midday shooting in a Brooklyn housing complex left a family reeling in April 2021. Alister Walcott, 34 and from Brownsville, was shot inside a Myrtle Avenue building in the Tompkins Houses development in Bedford-Stuyvesant shortly before 2 p.m. on Tuesday, April 6, 2021. Officers responding to a 911 call found Walcott with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to Woodhull Hospital but died of his injuries.

The New York Police Department opened a homicide investigation but announced in the days after the shooting that no suspects had been identified and no arrests had been made. The motive for the attack has not been disclosed. The investigation remains open and authorities have asked the public for help.

If anyone knew Alister or saw activity at the Tompkins Houses on April 6, 2021, please come forward with information.
