Dwight Pitman, a 26-year-old Black man, was shot in the early hours of February 15, 2018, outside a public housing building in East Harlem. Just after 2 a.m. police found him in front of an apartment tower at the East River Houses near East 105th Street and First Avenue with a gunshot wound to the torso. He was taken to Harlem Hospital in critical condition and died there from his injuries.

Reports indicate an argument broke out moments before the shooting; Pitman allegedly got into a dispute with three men in the street. As the exchange escalated, one of the men produced a firearm and shot Pitman in the chest, then the group fled. Police described the investigation as active and ongoing and had not publicly identified suspects or announced any arrests at that time.

Did anyone in the neighborhood witness the argument or the men who ran off and can help investigators fill in what happened?
