Quentin Merritt, 54, was found with a gunshot wound to the buttocks on the second-floor landing of his Bedford-Stuyvesant apartment building on Van Buren Street near Throop Avenue one Friday night in the summer of 2015. He was taken to Kings County Hospital but died four days later from his injuries.

The New York Police Department opened an investigation into the shooting. At the time of initial reports no arrests had been made and no suspects were publicly identified, and the circumstances of the fatal shooting remained under investigation.

Did anyone living in or near Van Buren Street that summer see or hear anything that might help explain what happened to Quentin Merritt?
