David Hooks was 24 when he was shot and killed on September 20, 2015, during a dispute over drugs on a Bronx street corner at East 194th Street and Briggs Avenue in the Fordham neighborhood. Surveillance footage shows Hooks and another man chasing Kadeem Carty; Carty turned and fired, striking Hooks twice in the lower back. Hooks was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital and died shortly after arrival.

The NYPD identified 22-year-old Kadeem Carty as the suspect and released an image of him described as 6 feet 3 inches tall and about 180 pounds. Carty remained a fugitive until he was arrested in Pennsylvania on November 20, 2017. He later pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter in March 2019 and was sentenced to 12 years in prison plus five years of post-release supervision; Hooks’ mother, Lillian Perez, expressed that she felt the sentence was too light.
