Raul Cordero was 39 and a father of three when he was shot and killed on March 26, 2021, in the courtyard of the Harbor View Apartments in Coney Island, Brooklyn. He had been helping his longtime girlfriend move into their new apartment and the couple had been planning a family trip to the Poconos. While in the courtyard he was approached by two men; an argument ensued and one man produced a gun and shot Cordero in the chest. He was taken to Coney Island Hospital and pronounced dead.

The NYPD released surveillance images of two persons of interest described as being in their mid-20s. One was wearing a white T-shirt, a black vest and gray sweatpants; the other wore a black hooded sweat jacket with a white paisley design. The motive remains unclear and no arrests have been announced. Cordero, known as Macho, is survived by two young sons and a daughter.

If anyone was in or near the Harbor View Apartments on March 26, 2021 and saw something that could help identify those men, please come forward with information.
