Christopher Burgin was 29 when he was shot and killed in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn in the early hours of September 4, 2015. Just after midnight on Prospect Place, witnesses heard gunfire; Burgin was found lying in the street with multiple gunshot wounds to his torso and was taken to Kings County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Friends and neighbors described him as a good dude who didn’t seem to have enemies and were stunned by the violence.

The NYPD identified a suspect and on September 21, 2015 arrested 25-year-old Moeleek Harrell, charging him with Burgin’s murder; Harrell was already facing another murder charge from earlier that year. Reports from a later federal trial in June 2024 note Harrell’s leadership in a gang and convictions on racketeering and related counts, but the available trial outcome does not make clear whether it included a conviction specifically for Christopher Burgin’s murder.

Did anyone in Crown Heights remember Christopher or see activity on Prospect Place that night that could help clarify what happened?
