A community shooting on October 5, 2015 left 31-year-old Gomez Hurd dead and remains unresolved. The shooting happened at about 6:16 p.m. in front of a business on Prospect Avenue in New Cassel. Officers responding to a 911 call found Hurd with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to Nassau University Medical Center and was pronounced dead at 6:42 p.m.

An employee at a nearby restaurant reported seeing Hurd seated on a bench when four young people approached him and then fled after gunfire. The Nassau County Police Department Homicide Squad investigated, canvassed the scene, and asked the public for help. Authorities said they did not believe the shooting was gang-related but had not established a motive.

No arrests or suspect identifications have been publicly reported. Does anyone who lived in or near New Cassel in 2015 remember seeing activity on Prospect Avenue that evening or have information that could help the investigation?
