On the evening of July 26, 2020, 16-year-old Kleimer Mendez was playing basketball at George Walker Jr. Park in the Cypress Hills neighborhood of Brooklyn when a dark-colored SUV drove up and a gunman stood through the sunroof and opened fire on the court. Mendez and 18-year-old Antonio Villa were each struck in the head and killed; a 17-year-old was shot in the leg and survived. A memorial for the two victims was set up at the park, and the next day a shooting at that vigil injured one person.

The NYPD opened an investigation that resulted in two arrests. One suspect was a 15-year-old male whose name was not released because of his age; he was charged with murder, attempted murder, weapons possession and reckless endangerment. The other arrest was 23-year-old Joshua Bonilla of Brooklyn, who faced the same charges.

What information do readers in Cypress Hills or anyone who was at the park that night have that could help clarify what happened?
