Akeal Christopher was a 14-year-old boy who was shot while walking with friends near Cornelia Street and Evergreen Avenue in Bushwick, Brooklyn on June 27, 2012. A single bullet struck him in the head; he was taken to Brookdale Hospital and died on July 10, 2012, his 15th birthday, after being taken off life support.

Investigators have been hindered by a lack of cooperation from witnesses who were present that night. Family members say those friends may know the shooter’s identity but have not come forward. One report says the group was asked whether they were members of a group known as the Loot Crew shortly before the shooting.

No arrests have been made and the NYPD lists the case as open and active. Does anyone who was in Bushwick that night or who knew Akeal have information that could help the investigation?
