Keith Pinckney, 36, was fatally shot in the Bronx in the early morning of October 21, 2017. He had been at a house party on Davidson Avenue in the Morris Heights neighborhood, stepped outside at about 2 a.m., and was found less than thirty minutes later with gunshot wounds to the head and chest. He was transported to Saint Barnabas Hospital, where he died.

Known in the neighborhood as Rell and Slaughter, Pinckney was a father of two. Neighbors who remembered him described him as caring and jovial despite a history of 38 arrests mostly for drug and marijuana possession. A candlelight vigil was held after his death.

The investigation remains open and active and no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified. If anyone has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
