On the evening of May 18, 2015, Dennis Sanchez, 39, was shot in the face on a sidewalk in Bushwick, Brooklyn, in front of 32 Park Street near Beaver Street. Sanchez was standing with a friend when an argument among several people about several baby mommas escalated; police said Sanchez was not part of that dispute. A witness with Sanchez said the assailant fired, Sanchez ducked, and a second shot struck him in the eye. He was taken to Elmhurst Hospital Center and pronounced dead.

Family and friends remembered Sanchez as a generous community figure and a father of three daughters and a son who often organized barbecues and fed the homeless. Police said they had video of the shooting and were pursuing a possible link to a fatal stabbing in Williamsburg the next day; one person seen at the shooting was taken into custody while the shooter remained at large. Has anyone in the neighborhood seen or heard anything that could help identify the shooter?
