Kester Anthony, 23, was fatally shot on April 16, 2017, in Canarsie, Brooklyn. He was found with two gunshot wounds to the head at East 96th Street and Glenwood Road about 9:30 p.m.; emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

Family remembered Anthony, known to friends as Rich, as a new father who had been changing his life and as a happy, smiling young man. His mother, Deslyn Anthony, cleaned his blood from the sidewalk where he fell; his sister Amanda called the perpetrators cowards. Police investigated a possible gang-related dispute and reviewed surveillance footage that showed a lone assailant approach Anthony from behind and fire twice before fleeing.

Detectives sought up to four male suspects and said one person of interest was described as a gang member with dreadlocks who likely lived in the neighborhood; investigators also suspected a killer may have attended a candlelight vigil. No arrests or charges have been reported. Did anyone in Canarsie have information about Anthony, his movements that night, or the men police were seeking?
