On the evening of February 8, 2020, 19-year-old Irving Lamboy was shot in the back inside a Clinton Avenue residence in Albany after gunfire erupted during an exchange between people on the street and those inside the home. Police on routine patrol near Henry Johnson Boulevard heard the shots and found a man standing in the middle of Clinton Avenue firing a handgun into the residence. Lamboy was taken to Albany Medical Center Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arriving; his obituary described him as thoughtful, caring and devoted to family and faith.

A 33-year-old man believed to have been with the shooter was also wounded in the exchange, shot in the upper leg. The man found firing the weapon, 33-year-old Darryl Smith, was arrested at the scene and later charged with criminal possession of a weapon. In court Smith pleaded guilty in September 2020 and in December 2020 was sentenced to nine years in state prison, followed by five years of post-release supervision; the judge said she would have considered a longer sentence had she been aware earlier of Smith’s full criminal history.

Does anyone have information about the events on Clinton Avenue that night or knew Irving Lamboy?
