On February 6, 2020, 48-year-old Kenny Mark was shot during a home invasion at a house party in a Bedford-Stuyvesant apartment. Guests were playing dice around a pool table when two men, later identified as 18-year-old Ahmed Morrison and his friend Unique Howell, left and returned wearing ski masks and armed with guns. They held partygoers at gunpoint, stole a wallet and tried to take cash from the pool table. When Mark resisted, Morrison fired two shots, striking him in the abdomen and chest.

Mark was taken to NYC Health+Hospital/Kings County and died of his injuries on April 6, 2020. Police tracked the getaway car to a vehicle registered to Morrison’s mother and found a summons with Morrison’s name inside, a lead that contributed to arrests. Morrison and Howell were taken into custody and charged with murder, burglary and weapons offenses; both initially pleaded not guilty.

Many questions remain about what happened inside the apartment that night and about witnesses present. If anyone attended the party or has information about the robbery and shooting, please share what is known.
