Barry Lovelace was 17 when he was shot and killed in the early morning hours of February 16, 2015, in a West Brighton apartment on Henderson Avenue, Staten Island. He was found sitting on a couch with multiple gunshot wounds to his chest and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators quickly focused on an acquaintance, Mark Ortiz. Ortiz fled after the killing and was added to Staten Island’s most wanted list; authorities believed he may have been hiding in the Bronx or Pennsylvania and arrested him in March 2015.

Ortiz, who was 20 at the time of his conviction, was found guilty in November 2016 of murder and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon and in January 2017 received an aggregate sentence of 30 years to life. Did anyone in the neighborhood know Barry or see him with Ortiz in the days before February 16, 2015?
