Donnell Smith was 24 when he was fatally shot on the night of August 1, 2015, near the Glenwood Houses in the Flatlands section of Brooklyn. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds to his torso and was pronounced dead at the scene after emergency responders arrived.

Smith’s killing was one of two fatal shootings at the Glenwood Houses within a single week, both taking place during summer barbecues. Law enforcement described the incidents as linked to an ongoing gang war in the inner-Brooklyn area rather than random violence, turning community gatherings into deadly encounters.

The NYPD opened a homicide investigation, canvassed the neighborhood for witnesses and sought leads, but no arrests have been announced and the case remains open. If anyone knew Donnell, was at the Glenwood Houses that night, or has information that could help solve this homicide, please come forward.
