Steven Agosto, 22, was shot multiple times and killed on Park Street in Peekskill, New York, on December 20, 2015. Officers on patrol responded to the sound of gunfire and found Agosto unresponsive; he was taken to a hospital but died of a bullet wound to the head and two additional gunshot wounds to his legs. His family said his mother believed he had been intentionally lured to his death.

Peekskill police launched an extensive homicide investigation, conducting interviews and search warrants that produced a suspect, 24-year-old Janeil Myke of Peekskill. Myke was arrested two days after the shooting after a brief foot pursuit while leaving his home and, according to the investigation, admitted to shooting Agosto. The weapon was identified as a stolen 9mm handgun. Myke was initially charged with second-degree murder and later pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter in October 2016; a judge sentenced him to 15 years in state prison in November 2016.

The probe also produced a January 2016 arrest of 44-year-old Tyrone Wynn after evidence linked to the shooting was found at his Cortlandt residence; officers recovered three handguns, narcotics, and a large sum of cash, and Wynn was charged with criminal possession of a weapon but was not publicly named as a suspect in Agosto’s murder. Did anyone in the Peekskill area know Steven or witness events on Park Street that night?
