In the summer of 2019, 28-year-old Arsenio Gravesande was shot once in the left hip on the evening of August 20 at the corner of Union Street and Sutter Avenue in Brownsville, Brooklyn. He was taken to Brookdale Hospital and was pronounced dead. Gravesande was a father of two and, according to reports from the scene, declined to identify his shooter to police before he died.

His death was one of five homicides in New York City within a 24-hour span and prompted a vigil where friends and family gathered to mourn and light candles in his memory. The case was investigated as a gang-related shooting that occurred after Gravesande was chased.

Anyone who knew Gravesande, his routines, or events in Brownsville that night is asked to share what they remember with the forum or investigators.
