Herbert Goodnight, a 60-year-old Black man originally from Brooklyn, was shot and killed inside an apartment at 369 First Street in Albany, New York, in the late hours of May 20, 2015. Police arrived around 11:15 p.m.; Goodnight was pronounced dead at the scene. He was on parole at the time and had past convictions for drugs and robbery.

Investigators in sterile suits processed the multi-apartment dwelling for hours after the shooting and reviewed footage from a security camera across the street, although it was unclear whether the camera recorded anything useful. No arrests have been announced and the homicide remains unsolved; Capital Region Crime Stoppers has posted a reward for information leading to an arrest. Goodnight’s estranged wife, Lorraine Goodnight, publicly called for justice and expressed grief and frustration.
