On August 11, 2019, at about 11:42 p.m., 17-year-old Arnelle Branch was shot near the Parkside Houses on White Plains Road in the Bronx. Police responding to 911 reports of shots fired found Branch with a gunshot wound to his torso and another male, 21-year-old Kevin Dillard, shot in the neck. Both were taken to Jacobi Hospital and pronounced deceased.

Investigators say the shootings followed an argument and identify 46-year-old Harry Behlin as the suspect, alleging he shot Dillard in the neck and then shot Branch as Branch tried to flee into the Parkside Houses. Behlin was reportedly on parole for a 2014 drug sale conviction and had previously served ten years for attempted murder. He was located in Columbus, Ohio, on April 17, 2020, by U.S. Marshals and extradited to New York; a grand jury later indicted him on multiple counts including second-degree murder and weapon charges.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who remember the scene that night or saw activity around the Parkside Houses before or after the shooting?
