On March 14, 2016, 23-year-old A’mani Hugh Anthony Miller was found dead in the fifth-floor stairwell of the Bay View Houses in Canarsie, Brooklyn. Miller, an apprentice at a construction company who had been delivering equipment that day, had been repeatedly stabbed and shot, showed signs of torture, and was thrown down a flight of stairs. His wallet was missing. The attack was described as particularly savage; his family says he had been warned to avoid the housing complex and believes he was lured there. The last conversation Miller had with his mother, Allison Shinn, was a brief exchange of I love yous while he was driving.

The case remains an active investigation by the New York City Police Department. Police released surveillance footage of a black car seen leaving the scene and have indicated they have a suspect but were still working to establish probable cause for an arrest. No arrests have been made and a reward of up to $25,000 has been offered for information leading to resolution. If anyone knew A’mani, saw activity at the Bay View Houses on March 14, 2016, or has information about the black car, please come forward.
