Harold Abodia, 22, was shot in the head and hand in front of an apartment building at 585 E. 21st Street near Ditmas Avenue in Brooklyn around 2:30 a.m. on July 13, 2015. The attack occurred in the early hours of a Monday and proved fatal.

An 18-year-old, Migly Jean-Jacquez, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with Abodia’s death. The case proceeded to a jury in Kings County. On March 14, 2018, Jean-Jacquez was convicted of first-degree manslaughter and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, convictions that replaced the original murder charge. The conviction was later appealed and the judgment was affirmed, with a modification to vacate mandatory surcharge and fees; the court described the imposed sentence as not excessive but court papers did not specify the exact term.

If anyone knew Harold or witnessed the shooting that night, please share what you remember.
