On the evening of August 29, 2014, 19-year-old Jahzeph Crooks, a Black man, was fatally shot inside a liquor store in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn. He had been with his sister, heading to a barbecue in a part of the borough they did not know, when someone seeking revenge opened fire. Multiple gunshots struck Crooks; he was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

Authorities say the shooter was Clayton Gravenhise, a member of the Hood Starz street gang, who was allegedly searching for people he believed were connected to his brother Nathaniel’s earlier killing. Court proceedings that began with jury selection in February 2017 showed the prosecution called multiple civilian and law enforcement witnesses and described a vengeful rampage that killed two innocent people by mistaken identity.

Did anyone in Bushwick that night see Crooks or his sister, or have information about movements in that area on August 29, 2014?
