On June 27, 2020, 23-year-old Chioteke Thompson was fatally shot on a Brooklyn stoop in East New York. Thompson and 39-year-old Stephanie Perkins were sitting on Van Siclen Street when a gunman, reportedly wearing a blonde wig and a long coat, opened fire with a high-capacity rifle and fired more than 20 rounds. Thompson was struck in the face and Perkins was shot in the back; both were pronounced dead at the scene. The shooter then stepped over the bodies, entered a nearby residence, fired additional rounds, and fled.

The NYPD identified 47-year-old Charles Hernandez as a suspect the next day, and a manhunt led to his arrest in West Virginia on July 9, 2020. Investigators said the victims were targeted because of their connection to a man involved in an ongoing dispute with the suspect. Did anyone in East New York see activity on Van Siclen Street that afternoon or know anything about the victims connections?
