Gerard Grant was 23 when he was shot dead in Brooklyn after leaving a nightclub on Flatbush Avenue on January 18, 2014. He and a friend were in his car in Ditmas Park after a GPS error took them to a dead-end at Avenue I and East 16th Street. An unidentified gunman approached and opened fire at close range. Grant, in the driver’s seat, was struck multiple times in the chest and head and pronounced dead at the scene; his friend was shot in the spine and taken to Kings County Hospital in critical condition and later left paralyzed.

Grant was a business student about to graduate from Kingsborough Community College and worked as an event promoter, handing out flyers the night before. Police reported few leads, noting neither victim had a criminal record and no clear motive such as gang or drug ties. A $12,000 reward was offered and Grant’s mother, Glenda Grant-Martin, made public pleas for information, but no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified.

Does anyone have information about that night at Avenue I and East 16th Street or remember seeing the car or a suspicious person in the area?
