Otis Adams, 48, of Mount Vernon, was fatally shot in Brooklyn on the night of May 7, 2020. The shooting occurred in the Brownsville neighborhood at about 10:10 p.m. after Adams intervened in a dispute because his daughter was involved in a physical altercation with another woman. Reports say the situation escalated and an accomplice of the other woman allegedly shot Adams at a building in Brownsville.

Shortly after the homicide, the New York City Police Department arrested a 22-year-old Brooklyn resident, Rondell Russell, who was charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with Adams’s death. Few other public details about the incident or motive have been released.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about what happened that night, please share what is known with investigators.
