On the afternoon of May 27, 2015, 31-year-old Jamaal Anderson was sitting outside an apartment building on Fulton Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant when two men emerged from a car and one of them, Isaac Bryant, approached from behind and opened fire. Anderson was struck by a bullet in his back as he tried to flee and was taken to Interfaith Hospital, where he later died.

Surveillance video captured the attack and showed Bryant running toward Anderson while firing and then fleeing with the other man, identified as Tyshon Knight. Prosecutors said the shooting was retaliatory, carried out in response to the earlier shooting of a friend of the perpetrators. Both men were arrested; Bryant was convicted of second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon in November 2017 and sentenced to 23 years to life. Knight was convicted after a February 2018 bench trial of first-degree manslaughter and multiple weapons counts and was sentenced to 18 years.
