Deshawn Herbert was 21 when he was fatally shot in the head in the early morning of March 27, 2021, on Georgia Avenue in East New York, Brooklyn. The shooting happened just before 4 a.m. as Herbert, a college wrestler home to mourn his recently deceased grandmother, walked with several other people. An unidentified person opened fire; those with Herbert reportedly fled and emergency crews found him with a severe head wound and rushed him to a hospital where he died.

Herbert was remembered as a gifted athlete who earned a full scholarship for wrestling and as a charismatic young man with a strong sense of humor. A GoFundMe was set up to help with funeral costs and to seed a wrestling scholarship in his name. Video footage of the shooting has circulated, ShotSpotter registered the gunfire, but no arrests or named suspects have been announced and the motive has not been publicly identified.

Does anyone who knew Deshawn or was in that area that night have information that could help investigators?
