Kevin Thomas was 28 when he was killed just before 2 a.m. on October 23, 2016, in the Bronx. He was found outside the Mott Haven Houses on East 143rd Street with multiple gunshot wounds to his torso, taken to a nearby hospital, and pronounced dead. His sister said he had called her shortly before the shooting; she missed that call and learned of his death when police called her later.

Surveillance images released by police showed two men believed to be connected to the homicide. One was in a wheelchair and was described as a Black male wearing glasses and a black jacket; police identified that man as the suspected gunman who displayed a firearm and shot the victim multiple times. The other was described as a Black male in a brown jacket and a black baseball hat. A memorial for Thomas grew outside his home.

An arrest was made on January 20, 2017, when Daniel Rice, known as Capone, was taken into custody in the Bronx; he was found with a loaded Glock that investigators said was not tied to this shooting. Court filings later said Rice, who uses a wheelchair, fired at Thomas during a dispute, striking him multiple times.

Does anyone have information about Kevin Thomas, his movements that night, or the memorial that grew outside his home?
