A daytime shooting in Ocean Hill ended in a homicide on June 15, 2016. Robert Thomas, a 46-year-old Black man, was standing on the sidewalk in front of 207 MacDougal Street when multiple rounds struck him in the head. He was taken to a nearby hospital and died of his wounds.

The NYPD arrested 38-year-old Derrick Nivens of Bushwick just over a week later and charged him with murder. Police say Nivens was the getaway driver rather than the shooter. Investigators released a description of the suspected gunman as slim, last seen wearing a fisherman’s hat, a long-sleeved shirt and dark pants, and said they were also seeking a third person in connection with the shooting.

Does anyone have information about the man seen in the fisherman’s hat or about activity near MacDougal Street that afternoon?
