On New Year’s Day 2020, 37-year-old Steven Gadsden was fatally shot on the Upper West Side of Manhattan after a family dispute turned violent. The shooting began inside a minivan where Gadsden was a passenger with his nephew, 30-year-old Cardell Gadsden, an off-duty corrections officer. The driver pulled over near Manhattan Avenue and West 107th Street; Steven Gadsden exited the van and the argument continued on the street. Cardell Gadsden allegedly fired shots that struck his uncle in the torso and arm.

Emergency services transported Steven Gadsden to a nearby hospital, where he later died of his injuries. After the shooting, Cardell Gadsden fled in the minivan but subsequently contacted police, arranged to surrender, and turned himself in to the 24th Precinct with his lawyer. He was arrested and charged with murder and criminal use of a firearm and was suspended from his job without pay.

Does anyone have information about the events on West 107th Street that day or about the relationship between the two men?
