Kevin Barton was 29 and from the Bronx when he was shot to death outside a residential building in Morrisania on the night of September 23, 2019. Police found him near the entrance around East 162nd Street and Melrose Avenue, unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds to the chest; first responders took him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators described the shooting as a sudden, personal flashpoint. They said Barton got into an argument with another man nearby that escalated and ended when that man produced a gun and fired into Barton’s chest.

No arrests had been announced and the investigation remained open. Did anyone see the confrontation or the gunman running from the scene?
