Before dawn on July 15, 2016, a burst of gunfire on Osborn Street in Brownsville, Brooklyn, left two men dead outside 101 Osborn St. Police found Perry Chance, 40, among the victims; he was described as an African American father of four from Brooklyn. Both wounded men were rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators traced the violence to an earlier argument near the Howard Houses that night between Tariq Hargrove and Jeffrey James. Chance, who knew both men, tried to intervene. The men separated, but a few hours later about 4:03 a.m. Chance and his wife encountered James again on Osborn Street, the dispute flared, and Hargrove approached from Pitkin Avenue and opened fire, discharging six shots that struck James five times and Chance once before he fled.

A 20-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with the double killing; prosecutors said three eyewitnesses who knew him identified him as the shooter. A viewing and service for Chance were held July 21, 2016, at Mount Ollie Baptist Church, followed by burial at Evergreens Cemetery.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see the argument or the men involved that night?
