Vincent Malik Witt, a 20-year-old Black man from Staten Island, was shot dead on April 14, 2020, on Park Hill Avenue in the Park Hill section. Officers found him just before 4 p.m. outside 225 Park Hill Ave with a gunshot wound to the head; he was pronounced dead at the scene. His father says he was on the phone with Vincent during a scuffle before the call abruptly ended.

In the days after the killing neighbors held a vigil and grief intensified long-running tensions in the block; community discussion named Kyshief Campbell, known by some as Kaka, and people close to Witt’s family said the shooting was tied to an earlier incident in which Campbell was jumped and robbed and Witt was blamed.

Nearly five years after the slaying, an arrest was made: Kyshief Campbell, 25, was arraigned on second-degree murder and weapon charges and ordered held without bail, with the case adjourned to Dec. 11. If anyone knew Vincent, his movements that day, or has information about what happened on Park Hill Avenue, please come forward.
