On June 23, 2017, Christina Stubbs, 23, and 27-year-old Devon Hannibal were ambushed and shot to death inside a red Dodge Durango parked on Cleveland Street in East New York, Brooklyn. The attack happened about 4:45 a.m. after the couple had left a nearby nightclub on Linden Boulevard. Hannibal was fired on repeatedly while in the driver’s seat; Stubbs, in the front passenger seat, was killed by a single gunshot. Both were pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses later likened the volume of gunfire to a war zone.

Police arrested 33-year-old Gary Martin within weeks of the shooting and later arrested 36-year-old Kenrick Bayliss in January 2019. Prosecutors said surveillance footage and cell phone records showed a coordinated ambush in which Bayliss tracked the couple inside the club and acted as a lookout while Martin retrieved a gun and carried out the shooting. In September 2019 both men were convicted of second-degree murder and the following month were sentenced to 50 years to life.
