A shooting in Gowanus ended the life of 21-year-old Leroy Olmstead on Saturday, March 14, 2015. Police and emergency crews responded just after 3 p.m. to the Gowanus Houses on Baltic Street and found Olmstead on the pavement in front of 423 Baltic St. He had sustained a single, fatal gunshot wound to the torso and was pronounced dead on arrival at Lutheran Medical Center.

The shooting was reported as the 76th Precinct’s first homicide of 2015; witnesses at the scene said they heard a single shot. The NYPD opened an investigation but released no further details in the immediate aftermath, and no arrests were reported in the days that followed. Available reports do not indicate whether any suspects were later identified, arrested, or charged.

Did anyone in Gowanus at the time notice anything that could help the investigation into Leroy Olmstead’s death?
