Sean Overton, 42, was shot and killed outside the Astoria Houses in Queens on April 5, 2015. It was just after 5 p.m.; he had been talking with a friend about borrowing a football video game when gunfire erupted. Witnesses heard a single shot, a pause, then three or four more.

Overton was found on the ground with gunshot wounds to the neck and torso and was taken conscious to Mount Sinai Queens but later died. He was a construction worker and father of a 4-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son. His mother, Sheila Overton-Crump, described him as a devoted parent who worked long hours to provide for his children and visited the spot the day after the shooting.

The NYPD opened an investigation; no arrests had been announced and no motive was clear.
