Aaliyah Alder, 21, was found dead in the eighth-floor stairwell of the Forest Houses on Tinton Avenue in the Bronx on the evening of Monday, March 27, 2017. Emergency responders pronounced her dead at the scene after she sustained a single gunshot wound to the head. She was a resident of Mott Haven and an aspiring model.

Investigators say Alder had gone to the building to intervene in a dispute involving a friend. Accounts indicate an argument escalated into a physical confrontation before the fatal shot. Surveillance footage reportedly shows Alder and a female friend in an elevator shortly before three men, one believed to be the gunman, left the premises. The day after the shooting, 22-year-old Davaughn Johnson, a Forest Houses resident identified as the boyfriend of one of Alder’s friends, was arrested and charged with murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon.

A candlelight vigil was held as friends and family mourned her loss and remembered her as vibrant and ambitious. Does anyone in the Bronx remember seeing or hearing anything that night that could help clarify what happened?
