A 19-year-old man was shot and later died after being found in the third-floor hallway of his Randall Avenue apartment building in the Soundview Houses. Jordan Brooks was discovered with a gunshot wound to the head on the night of Sunday, April 17, 2016, at about 10:30 p.m. He was taken to Jacobi Medical Center and died the following day.

Investigators described the shooting as linked to a gang-related conflict in an area known for gang activity, including groups such as the Black Stone Gorillas, but it was not stated whether Brooks himself belonged to a gang. No arrests have been announced and the case remained unsolved, with fear of retaliation cited as a barrier to obtaining witness cooperation.

Anyone with information about what happened that night or who was involved is asked to come forward.
