Alfred James, 27, was found in the courtyard of the Armstrong Houses in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, after a pre-dawn shooting on December 13, 2015. The shooting happened shortly before 12:30 a.m. James was discovered with his pockets turned inside out and his pants pulled down around his ankles; he had five gunshot wounds, four to his back and one to his side. He was taken to Woodhull Hospital and pronounced dead.

Police treated the scene as a robbery that turned violent and opened an investigation. No arrests were made in the days and weeks after the killing, and by the time a street memorial was placed for him in January of the following year there still had been no identified suspects. The investigation is described as remaining open but without new leads.

If anyone knew Alfred, saw activity in the Armstrong Houses area that night, or has information that could help solve this case, please come forward.
