On the night of May 5, 2020, 25-year-old Oshea Barnes was shot and killed in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The shooting happened at about 10:30 p.m. on Bergen Street, near his home on New York Avenue. Two men confronted Barnes and shot him in the chest; he was taken to NYC Health & Hospitals/Kings County and later pronounced dead.

Police from the 77th Precinct found three shell casings at the scene. Detectives recovered a loaded handgun the next day from a trash container nearby, but it has not been confirmed as the murder weapon. No arrests have been made and investigators say they are seeking two unidentified suspects seen running from the area.

His family remember him as a devoted father to a young daughter; his mother, who lives in Atlanta, has spoken of her devastation. The case remains open and unresolved.

Did anyone in Crown Heights see activity near Bergen Street that night or have information about the two men seen running from the scene?
