A burst of gunfire in Hempstead turned a summer predawn into a homicide investigation. Thirty-four-year-old Andre Bell was found inside a vehicle at the intersection of Kennedy and Harold avenues about 2:30 a.m. on August 14, 2015 with gunshot wounds to his head. He was taken to a hospital and died six days later on August 20, 2015; his death was ruled a homicide and the Nassau County Police Homicide Squad opened an investigation.

Police released few details about the shooting but did seek the public’s help, issuing a wanted poster and offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

Did anyone in Hempstead that night see a vehicle or persons near Kennedy and Harold avenues around 2:30 a.m. on August 14, 2015 who could help investigators?
