On the evening of January 28, 2025, 21-year-old Nickalos Mitchell was shot in the vicinity of 415 Lefferts Avenue in Brooklyn. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his back, was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition, and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Mitchell’s killing occurred the same day a 15-year-old boy, Heath Campbell, was shot and killed in a lobby about a mile away. Investigators say they believe Mitchell’s death may have been retaliation for the earlier slaying. The investigation into Mitchell’s shooting remains active; no arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified.

If anyone was in the Lefferts Avenue area that evening or has information about either shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
