Lionell McLean, a 29-year-old father of two who lived on Herkimer Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, was shot to death on the evening of February 16, 2016. According to reports, he was with his girlfriend near his home when the couple became involved in a dispute with another man and woman on Hancock Street at about 7:30 p.m. The other man produced a firearm and shot McLean; first responders found gunshot wounds to his head and torso and he was taken to Interfaith Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The male and female suspects fled the scene, leaving McLean’s girlfriend to try to revive him. At the time of the initial reports the NYPD had not announced any arrests and was searching for those responsible.
