Tylee Felder, a 24-year-old Black man from Brooklyn, was killed after being ambushed in the Clinton Hill neighborhood on the afternoon of September 8, 2020. Two men wearing hoods and masks walked through the Lafayette Gardens housing complex, entered a building on Dekalb Avenue from the rear, and then emerged at the front to open fire. Felder was shot six times, including a fatal head wound, and was taken to a local hospital where he died the next day.

The attack also struck bystanders: a 23-year-old man was shot in the leg and a 24-year-old man was shot in the chest; both survived. Investigators later tied the shooting to a broader probe into the 900 street gang and determined it was gang retaliation based on a mistaken identity, with Felder believed to have been wrongly targeted for a prior shooting.

Tylee’s younger brother Tyshawn remembered him as caring and generous, and said his loss left the family broken. If anyone in Clinton Hill that day saw something that could help fill gaps in the timeline or identify other witnesses, please come forward with information.
