On March 21, 2021, at about 1:25 p.m., 38-year-old Erick D. Crawford was shot twice at the intersection of Liberty Street and Broadway in Kingston, New York. He was taken to HealthAlliance Hospital’s Broadway Campus and died there at 3:52 p.m. that same day. The shooting was recorded as Kingston’s first homicide of 2021 and prompted public concern about a recent wave of gun violence.

Crawford, born October 26, 1983, in Fort Ord, California, was remembered by family as warm, caring, a former honor roll student and talented football player, and someone handy who could fix anything. A multi-agency investigation involving the City of Kingston Police Department, New York State Police, the Ulster County Sheriff’s Office, and the Ulster County District Attorney’s Office quickly identified a suspect.

Two days after the shooting, on March 23, 2021, authorities arrested 45-year-old Truvock Noble in the town of Fishkill and charged him with second-degree murder and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon. Surveillance footage showing an encounter between Noble and Crawford shortly before the shooting and statements Noble made to police were presented at trial. Does anyone have information about Erick’s last movements or the encounter at Liberty and Broadway?
