On the evening of October 18, 2019, 26-year-old Raheem Douglas was shot multiple times in the torso near First Street and Lexington Avenue in Albany, New York. He died of his wounds and the Albany Police Department ruled his death a homicide. The shooting was reported as the city’s third homicide that year and drew concern from the community about escalating violence.

The investigation led to 27-year-old Raekwon Ellis of Troy, who was indicted in December 2020 on second-degree murder charges accusing him of intentionally causing Douglas’s death. Ellis pleaded not guilty. At trial a jury found Ellis guilty of second-degree murder, and in May 2022 he received a 25 years to life sentence. An aunt of Douglas delivered a victim impact statement describing the effect on Douglas’s five-year-old son; Ellis continued to maintain his innocence and said he planned to appeal.

Does anyone have information about Raheem Douglas’s last movements or about witnesses who were near First Street and Lexington Avenue that night?
