Corey Watson, 38, was shot and killed inside an apartment building at 1191 Park Place in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, on the night of December 11, 2020. Police responding to a 911 call found him with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead. His family, especially his mother who lived in the building, was left grieving after what the account describes as a sudden, violent confrontation.

The NYPD’s preliminary inquiry indicated Watson had been involved in a dispute with another man in the lobby that escalated when the other man produced a firearm and shot him. That gunman then fled the scene. As of late 2020 the investigation was ongoing, and no arrests had been announced.
