Twenty-three-year-old Muhammad Abdal-Aziz was fatally shot on October 28, 2015, at about 8:06 p.m. at the corner of Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard and West 112th Street in Harlem. Emergency responders found him with multiple gunshot wounds to his head and body; he was taken to Mount Sinai St. Luke’s Hospital and pronounced dead. He worked for a trucking company and had hoped to become a dentist, according to family.

Relatives said he had been home playing with his nephews an hour before the shooting and had told them he would be right back. Family members suggested he may have associated with the wrong crowd but stated they did not believe the killing was gang-related. A 34-year-old man was also shot in the torso and went to Harlem Hospital in critical but stable condition. The NYPD released video of a person of interest described as a man in a black jacket carrying a large umbrella; no arrests had been reported as of late 2015. If anyone knew Muhammad or has information about that night at Adam Clayton Powell Jr.

Boulevard and West 112th Street, please come forward.
