Nahjah Ellis was 19 when he was fatally shot in the early hours of July 5, 2020, on East 39th Street in Brooklyn’s East Flatbush. The shooting happened during a confrontation with another individual; Ellis was struck in the chest and died after being taken to Kings County Hospital. His death was one of nine homicides across the city that Fourth of July weekend.

The investigation has faced obstacles. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced. Ellis’s mother says she has received few updates, the original detectives assigned to the case have retired, and she believes her son’s alleged street gang affiliation has discouraged witness cooperation. The NYPD says the case remains active but unsolved.

Does anyone have information about Nahjah’s whereabouts that night or about the confrontation on East 39th Street?
