On the evening of September 2, 2016, 21-year-old Anthony Francis was fatally shot while sitting in his parked BMW with his girlfriend in the Flatlands neighborhood of Brooklyn. At about 7:00 PM a dark-colored sedan pulled up, and occupants opened fire into the BMW. Francis was struck multiple times in the chest; he pushed his girlfriend out of the car before collapsing and was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Investigators linked the attack to a rivalry between street gangs. Francis was identified as a member of the Canarsie-based Woo gang, and the assailants were said to be members of the rival Folk Nation gang from Flatbush. Trial testimony reportedly described one of the shooters shouting Woo before firing with at least two different large-caliber handguns, and ballistics tied a .45 caliber handgun to the scene.

Two men were arrested in connection with the shooting. If anyone knew Anthony, his routine that night, or witnessed the attack, please share what was seen or heard.
