On February 7, 2015, 32-year-old Vernon Brown was sitting in the passenger seat of a parked car on South 31st Street in Wyandanch, New York, when a male approached on a bicycle and fired a single shot into the vehicle. Brown was struck; a friend drove him to a nearby house on Levey Boulevard and someone called 911 about 5:55 p.m. He was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip, where he was pronounced dead.

The Suffolk County Police Homicide Squad opened an investigation and followed tips from the community, but the scene yielded few witnesses or clear evidence.

If anyone saw activity on South 31st Street or Levey Boulevard the afternoon of February 7, 2015, or has information about a man on a bicycle near the parked car, please come forward.
