Najai Nigel Sow, 35, was killed on the evening of May 23, 2020, in the lobby of his apartment building on Hoe Avenue near Bruckner Boulevard in the Bronx. Known in Longwood as a helpful neighbor, a father and an aspiring rap figure who had started his own label, Sow was shot in the mid-section after an encounter with a neighbor, 42-year-old Vincent Gibson. Security camera footage inside the building showed Gibson, his face partly covered by a safety mask, confronting Sow and then shooting him. First responders found Sow unconscious with three gunshot wounds to the torso; he was taken to Lincoln Hospital and later died of his injuries.

Police used the surveillance video to identify Gibson, who lived about two blocks away, and arrested him on charges that included murder, manslaughter and weapons possession. Investigators have not publicly disclosed a motive for the shooting. If anyone in Longwood saw or heard anything about what happened in that hallway on May 23, 2020, share what is known with detectives.
