Eryk Ford, 28, was shot multiple times and killed on the evening of November 8, 2020, near Ralph Avenue and Lincoln Place in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Police responded to a 911 call around 7:30 p.m., found him grievously injured, and he was taken to Brookdale Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

NYPD detectives canvassed the area and recovered surveillance footage showing a person of interest near the scene shortly before the shooting. The footage reportedly captured a hand-to-hand transaction between that individual and another person, prompting investigators to consider a dispute as a possible motive. Images from the footage were released to the public in the days after the killing.

In February 2021 authorities arrested 44-year-old Gerald Quarles in Georgia; he was identified as the suspect and extradited to Brooklyn and charged with second-degree murder and weapons offenses. At the time of his death Ford had been out on parole after a 2016 manslaughter conviction in the 2012 death of his six-week-old daughter and was reportedly seeking to prove his innocence in that case.

Did anyone in Crown Heights see activity near Ralph Avenue and Lincoln Place that evening or recognize the person captured on the surveillance images?
