In the early hours of a Tuesday in August 2016, Earnest Brown, a 33-year-old resident of East New York, was fatally shot while sitting in his car on Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. The shooting occurred about 1:00 a.m.; Brown suffered gunshot wounds to his head and torso and was taken to Interfaith Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A 22-year-old woman who had been in the vehicle was shot in the torso and taken to Kings County Hospital in stable condition.

Friends and family described Brown as a devoted father of eight whose death devastated his loved ones. Police said witnesses saw two athletic men in hooded sweatshirts fleeing south on Patchen Avenue, and detectives described a male suspect wearing a blue sweatshirt and grey sweatpants. No arrests were reported at the time and the investigation remained ongoing.

Did anyone in the Bedford-Stuyvesant or East New York area see or hear anything that night that might help this case?
