Deshawn Henry was 23 and from Brooklyn when he was found shot to death in Inwood, Nassau County, on the evening of July 14, 2015. A passerby discovered his body in dense bushes in front of a home on James Street; investigators determined he had been shot at least once and ruled the death a homicide. Police said the location was secluded and believed Henry was specifically targeted rather than a random victim.

He was wearing blue sweatpants and a blue T-shirt when found. Relatives described him as a construction worker and a devoted father to three young children, and family members thought he may have been in the area that night to visit a former girlfriend. Crime Stoppers offered a reward for information leading to an arrest, but no arrests or suspect identifications have been publicly reported, and the case appears to have gone cold.

Does anyone who lived in Inwood that summer remember seeing or hearing anything that could help bring Deshawn’s family answers?
