On July 3, 2018, Argenis Cabrera, 33, was standing with a group in front of an apartment building on Union Street in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, when a white van approached and occupants opened fire. Cabrera was struck in the torso, found unconscious by first responders and taken to Kings County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The van crashed into a parked car about a block away; the occupants abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot. It was not immediately clear if Cabrera had been the shooting’s intended target. The NYPD investigated the homicide but made no arrest for several years.

Almost five years later, on May 2, 2023, an arrest was made in the case: Marc Jean, then 35, of Prospect Lefferts Gardens, was taken into custody and charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the 2018 drive-by that killed Cabrera. Did anyone in Crown Heights see the white van or remember the crash the night of July 3, 2018?
