Rashaun Ahart, 35, was killed in his Fordham Heights apartment on the evening of May 9, 2016. Returning from work as a security guard, he had just come back to his second-floor Creston Avenue apartment shortly before 9 p.m. when an unknown assailant fired about 14 shots through his apartment door. Ahart was struck multiple times in the chest, taken to St. Barnabas Hospital, and pronounced dead.

Known to friends and neighbors as Big John, Ahart was remembered as a devoted father to a young daughter and as kind-hearted and funny. People who knew him said he had been working to turn his life around after past narcotics-related arrests. The NYPD opened a homicide investigation and believed Ahart was the intended target, but no clear motive was identified and no arrests have been announced.

Does anyone who knew Rashaun or who was in the Creston Avenue area that night have information that could help bring answers?
