Korey Mitchell, a 21-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on December 7, 2016, in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds after a dispute that witnesses said escalated quickly; bystanders reported hearing an argument followed by gunfire. The NYPD treated the death as a targeted attack rather than a random act.

Investigators faced reluctance from some potential witnesses who feared coming forward, but detectives used eyewitness accounts, forensic evidence, and nearby surveillance footage to reconstruct the incident. A suspect with a known criminal history was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and illegal possession of a firearm; court proceedings were reported to be underway.
