JaQuay Bennett, 19 and known as Queezy, was shot dead on January 8, 2015, just steps from his home on St. Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. He suffered two gunshot wounds to the torso and another to his leg, and was pronounced dead at Kings County Hospital. Investigators tied his killing to an ongoing turf war between the Bergen Family and Lincoln Family gangs, concluding his murder was retaliatory for a shooting three days earlier that had injured a Lincoln Family member.

The neighborhood feud produced a string of retaliatory shootings. Law enforcement later built a wide-ranging case that relied on eyewitness accounts, social media posts, and forensic analysis. An extensive indictment filed by the Brooklyn District Attorney named numerous alleged gang members and included charges such as conspiracy, murder, attempted murder, and weapons possession; it identified Laquan Battle as the person who shot Bennett.

Does anyone have information about JaQuay Bennett, his movements that day, or witnesses who saw what happened?
