Ronald Murphy, 44, was fatally shot on April 27, 2015, outside the Emmanuel Church of God in East Flatbush, Brooklyn. The shooting occurred during a funeral service after a confrontation involving Sharieff Clayton, 40, and brothers Pierre and Fritz Celestine. The dispute between Clayton and the Celestine brothers was said to date back to the 1990s.

According to reports, words exchanged outside the church escalated into gunfire, with the Celestine brothers allegedly opening fire. Both Clayton and Murphy were struck and killed; four other people were injured. Pierre Celestine was arrested and pleaded not guilty to the murders of Murphy and Clayton.

Does anyone have information about Murphy’s activities that evening or witnesses who saw the confrontation outside the church?
