Douglas Young, 31, was shot to death on the evening of February 8, 2020 in Canarsie, Brooklyn after arranging what he believed was a routine sale of a valuable pair of sneakers. The meeting on East 82nd Street was a setup: a woman identified as 22-year-old Nyasia Gnatt lured him to the location, and a gunman emerged and shot Douglas in the head. He was taken to Brookdale University Hospital and died shortly after arriving.

Investigators say the shooting was part of a planned robbery. Detectives allege Nyasia coordinated the meeting and communicated with 20-year-old Tyquan Gnatt, who is accused of being the shooter; both were arrested and charged with murder, robbery, and criminal possession of a weapon. Family remembered Douglas as hardworking and down-to-earth, building a business around high-end sneakers.

Does anyone have information about Douglas, his work in the sneaker community, or the events leading up to that February meeting?
