On a Thursday evening in late August 2012, 28-year-old Fatima Gordon was walking with family in Flatbush’s Clarkson Avenue neighborhood after 9 p.m. when shots rang out. Fatima was struck in the back and later died at Kings County Hospital. Her four-year-old son, her mother Cynthia Thomas, and her seven-year-old brother were present; the gunfire also wounded three others, including a 13-year-old family friend. Investigators believed Fatima was not the intended target and circulated a flyer describing a suspect who reportedly rode a bicycle, fired into a group, and fled.

Police arrested 21-year-old Christopher Johnson of Bed-Stuy; he turned himself in and was charged with murder and attempted murder. Witnesses reportedly identified him in a lineup. Johnson was convicted of manslaughter at trial in 2014 and was expected to be sentenced in October of that year. His family described deep frustration after legal setbacks following that conviction.

Does anyone have information about the shooting on Clarkson Avenue or knew Fatima and her family?
