On the evening of September 19, 2015, 36-year-old Julio Yasser of Canarsie was fatally shot on Church Avenue near Ocean Avenue in Flatbush. The shooting happened about 5:40 p.m.; he was struck in the torso, taken to Kings County Hospital, and pronounced dead. The city was in a particularly violent 21-hour stretch that produced seven deaths, and family and friends held a vigil at the scene leaving candles, flowers, and Panamanian flags.

Police released surveillance footage showing a well-dressed man described as about 25 years old, wearing a vest with matching slacks, running near the scene; he was identified as a person of interest. No arrests had been announced in the initial reports and the motive or circumstances leading to the shooting were not immediately clear. The Brooklyn District Attorney’s office noted Yasser had been arrested the year before on charges of attempted murder and assault for an incident in Flatbush in which a 23-year-old man was shot in the leg.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see the man in the surveillance footage or have information about what happened that afternoon?
