Eric McKinney, 31, was shot and killed while sitting in his black Jeep Wrangler at a red light in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, on October 11, 2015. The shooting happened around 10:30 p.m. near Ashland Place and Dekalb Avenue when an unknown attacker fired multiple shots through the vehicle window, striking McKinney in his left arm and torso. He attempted to drive away but crashed into a nearby fence and was taken to Brooklyn Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

McKinney, known to friends and family as Carl, was a father of three and a local hip-hop producer who worked with artists including the rapper Fabolous. The motive was unclear at the time and investigators had not announced any arrests. His brother Shamel McKinney had been fatally stabbed in 2007, adding another layer of tragedy for the family.

If anyone in the Fort Greene area that night or anyone who knew Eric has information that could help, please come forward.
