Robert McLeod, 27, was found dead on the steps of Lincoln Terrace/Arthur S. Somers Park in Crown Heights just before noon on Tuesday, July 7, 2020. He suffered fatal gunshot wounds to the head and chest and was pronounced dead at the scene.

McLeod lived on Montgomery Street, a few blocks from the park. Friends said he planned to meet them that morning; one friend said McLeod told them he was going to the store and would be right back. Police activity and McLeod’s bicycle at the scene prompted concern. Friends also reported he had recently secured an apartment and adopted a dog after a period of homelessness, but that he had been involved in a gang and had been robbed at gunpoint in the same park weeks earlier.

The NYPD identified McLeod and opened an investigation. A few days after the shooting no arrests had been announced and no suspects were publicly identified. Does anyone who knew Robert or who was in Lincoln Terrace/Arthur S. Somers Park that morning have information to share?
