Melvin Pippins, 25, of Crown Heights, was fatally shot in a car-to-car shooting in the early morning hours of October 14, 2015, in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. Around 1:45 a.m. near 165 East 19th Street he was struck in the chest; surveillance video shows him stumbling out of his car and collapsing across the street. He was taken to Kings County Hospital and pronounced dead.

Family members and associates identified him by the nickname Melly and say they believed the killing was linked to a rivalry with the Real Ryte gang. In the immediate aftermath the NYPD said the investigation was ongoing and no arrests had been made. There have been no public reports of arrests or identified suspects in Melvin Pippins’s murder.

Did anyone in Ditmas Park or Crown Heights see or record anything that night that could help clarify what happened?
