On the night of May 26, 2015, 26-year-old Galvin Becerra of Brooklyn was fatally shot inside the Gravesend apartment building on Stillwell Avenue. Police found Galvin and his twin brother shortly after 11 p.m.; both had sustained gunshot wounds to the chest. Galvin was taken to Coney Island Hospital and died of gunshot wounds to his torso and legs, while his brother survived with injuries.

Investigators concluded the shooting grew out of a drug deal that turned into a robbery. Three men were later identified and arrested in connection with the case: 24-year-old Bryan Panarella of Manhattan was arrested in September 2015 and described as the suspected gunman; Ernest Jones, 34, of Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Colyn Needham, 28, of Red Hook, were arrested in October 2016. Ernest Jones was convicted by a jury on December 10, 2018, of second-degree murder and related violent felonies and received a lengthy prison term.

Does anyone have information about the events that led up to the confrontation in the apartment building or knew Galvin and his brother?
