On the evening of August 7, 2015, a barbecue at the Glenwood Houses in Brooklyn turned deadly when gunfire broke out. Twenty-three-year-old Bruce Donovan of Crown Heights was struck multiple times in the torso and legs. He was taken to Brookdale Hospital, where he died. A 28-year-old man was also shot in the arm and survived.

The NYPD’s 63rd Precinct opened an investigation and concluded Donovan was not the intended target but an innocent bystander caught in crossfire during a gang-related dispute. The Glenwood Houses had a history of gang activity, and witnesses were reportedly reluctant to cooperate out of fear of retaliation.

Investigators reviewed surveillance footage and conducted extensive interviews to identify suspects. If anyone who was at the barbecue or who has information about the shooting can help, please come forward.
