On the evening of April 10, 2020, 23-year-old Darnell Brown of the Bronx was shot in front of an apartment building on First Avenue in East Harlem. Officers responding to a 911 report found Brown with a gunshot wound to his lower back around 7:46 p.m.; he was taken to Metropolitan Hospital and was pronounced dead.

Investigators concluded the shooting arose from a romantic dispute. Authorities identified 30-year-old Sterling Stewart, described as the ex-boyfriend of Brown’s girlfriend and the father of her child, as the suspect. Stewart was located and taken into custody shortly after the incident; a firearm was recovered and he was charged with murder, assault, criminal use of a firearm, and criminal possession of a weapon.

A candlelight vigil held the next day for Brown was disrupted by another shooting that resulted in additional fatalities. Does anyone have information about Brown, the events that evening, or the memorial that followed?
