Samuel Joseph was 15 and the youngest of five children in a family from Haiti. He was described as friendly and athletic and had no known enemies. On the evening of February 22, 2019, Samuel was shot multiple times at close range in the head, torso, and arm inside his Flatbush apartment building after someone seeking retaliation for an earlier fight involving Samuel’s older brother followed Samuel’s sister into the building. He was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead.

Surveillance footage later identified Martial H. Amilcar, 20, also known as Drippy, and another man at the scene. Amilcar was arrested in Queens and charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon; police sought the second suspect, and a co-defendant was later charged in the killing. The case was linked to the Hyena Crips gang and investigators concluded Samuel was an innocent victim whose brother was the likely intended target.

Did anyone in Flatbush at the time see or hear anything that could help fill gaps in the timeline that evening?
