Christopher Caraballo, 24, was fatally shot on November 21, 2020, in front of the Wagner Houses on Paladino Avenue in East Harlem. He lived in Brownsville, Brooklyn and was attempting to enter a building at about 3:40 p.m. when an armed person confronted him. Surveillance footage shows the assailant demanding Caraballo’s chain; Caraballo removed the chain and tossed it to the ground, but was shot once in the upper chest anyway.

After the shooting the suspect fled with the stolen chain. Caraballo was found gravely wounded on the building’s entrance landing, taken to Harlem Hospital, and pronounced dead.

Does anyone have information about the incident or recall seeing suspicious activity near the Wagner Houses that afternoon?
