Maurice Jones, a 45-year-old Black man, was found fatally shot in his Bedford-Stuyvesant apartment on Sumpter Street after police responded to a call on the afternoon of January 11, 2016. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the neck, back, and shoulder and died after being taken to Kings County Hospital.

Detectives identified a suspect, 48-year-old Harry Steadman, who had a long criminal history including a prior homicide conviction and 25 years served. Believed to be fleeing to California, Steadman was located more than 600 miles from Brooklyn and was arrested at a Greyhound bus stop in Dayton, Ohio, by the U.S. Marshal’s Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team two days after Jones’s death.

Steadman was extradited to New York City and charged with second-degree murder; the NYPD cited witness statements and forensic evidence in the case. Does anyone have information about Maurice Jones, his life in Bedford-Stuyvesant, or the events leading up to January 11, 2016?
