Winston McKay, 40, was killed on June 10, 2019, while walking his dog in Harlem near Amsterdam Avenue and West 146th Street. He was struck by a stray bullet after a confrontation between two men; one of the men, wielding a rifle, fired at the other but missed. McKay, a librarian at a local college who had celebrated his 18th wedding anniversary with his husband, Terry Solomon, the day before, was taken to a nearby hospital but did not survive.

Police say surveillance footage from the area helped identify two suspects. In October 2019, 19-year-old Ozjheir McClain was arrested and charged with murder; a second suspect, 22-year-old Erick Bautista, was arrested in February 2021. McKay’s husband has criticized the NYPD and the District Attorney’s office for insensitive and discriminatory treatment after the killing.

Does anyone have information about McKay, the shooting, or the area around Amsterdam Avenue and West 146th Street on June 10, 2019?
