Equan Lamir Poppa Fallen was 20 when he was fatally shot outside his family’s apartment at 448 Livingston Avenue in Albany on June 12, 2018, just before 6:30 p.m. He was struck in the torso, taken to Albany Medical Center Hospital, and pronounced dead. The building’s front doors were left riddled with bullet holes. Neighbors recalled him as friendly and respectful; his family had previously endured hardship when his father died of cancer nine years earlier.

Two men were arrested in connection with the shooting: Trayron Palmer, 21, of Vergennes, Vermont, and Shaquille Moore, 26, of Albany. Surveillance footage captured Palmer and Moore firing multiple shots at a crowded porch where Fallen was present. Palmer later pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and was sentenced in April 2019 to 23 years in state prison plus five years of post-release supervision. Moore pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced in August 2019 to 18 years to life.
