Daniel Weir, 29, was fatally shot in the lobby of an apartment building at 139 East 53rd Street in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, on the morning of April 15, 2015. The shooting continued after Weir fell and occurred in the presence of three women and a baby in a stroller. Weir was taken to Kings County Hospital and pronounced dead.

Police connected Lynch to the killing eleven days later after a ShotSpotter notification led officers to a shooting near Howard Avenue and Saint John’s Place. Lynch had been wounded in an exchange of gunfire and told police he had dropped a gun; officers recovered a .40 caliber weapon under a parked car that ballistic testing tied to Weir’s murder. Lynch was later tried, convicted of second-degree murder and two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, and sentenced to 40 years to life.

Did anyone in the building or neighborhood come forward at the time with details about the phone call that brought Weir to the lobby?
