A Valentine’s Day party in Newburgh, New York, turned deadly on February 12, 2017, when gunfire in a basement on South William Street wounded four people. Twenty-four-year-old Gevontay Owens-Grant was transported to St. Luke’s Hospital and died of his injuries. Authorities linked the shooting to local gang activity and New York Crime Stoppers offered up to $2,500 for tips leading to arrest and conviction.

In February 2018 a federal indictment charged ten alleged members of the Southside street gang with racketeering and other offenses. William Fennell and Troy Young were specifically accused in the indictment of murdering Owens-Grant, who was described as a rival from another part of Newburgh; the indictment says the killing followed an altercation at the party.

If anyone has information about the February 12, 2017 shooting or knew Gevontay Owens-Grant, please share what is known.
