On December 4, 2015, 22-year-old Codi Chambers and his 28-year-old brother Blake were both shot inside their Huntington Drive home in Mastic Beach, New York. A 911 call that afternoon alerted police to two people shot; officers found Blake inside the house and learned Codi had been driven toward the hospital by acquaintances but the vehicle returned when ambulances arrived. Both brothers later died at Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center.

Investigators described a large, complicated crime scene and initially had no clear motive or suspect. Neighbors said the home was known for drug activity, and both men had criminal records with pending drug-related court dates, so police explored links to the local drug trade. No arrests were made for nearly three years.

In September 2018 identical twin brothers Brian and Lydell Barham, each 34, were arrested and indicted on second-degree murder and weapon charges. Defense attorneys challenged a key witness identification from a photo array, arguing the witness might have confused the twins; a judge in April 2019 allowed the issue to go to a jury.

Does anyone have memories of the neighborhood at the time or information about the case that could help clarify what happened?
