On the evening of November 1, 2016, a dispute at the corner of Lincoln Place and Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, ended in gunfire. Cosmos Charles, 31, a resident of the nearby Renaissance Men’s Shelter on Ralph Avenue who was experiencing homelessness, was struck during the altercation and collapsed on the sidewalk. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Four shots were reported around 8:50 p.m.

Investigators determined the dispute was drug-related; a quantity of crack cocaine was found in Charles’s pocket. Witnesses described the shooter as a man dressed in black, and surveillance footage from the area later aided identification. Within days the Brooklyn North Violent Felony Squad arrested 26-year-old Tarrence Webb, who was charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon, and 31-year-old Dexter Mason, who was charged with hindering prosecution and tampering with evidence after video showed him picking up and disposing of a 5.7-caliber pistol.

Did anyone in Crown Heights see activity around Lincoln Place and Eastern Parkway that night or know more about the dispute?
