Johanci Chapman, 25, was shot while driving a dollar van on Utica Avenue in East Flatbush on Sunday afternoon, January 12, 2025. Police say another van pulled alongside near 837 Utica Ave just before 1 p.m.; a shot entered the driver’s side and struck Chapman in the arm. His van then collided with a nearby car, and first responders found him at the curb. He was taken to NYC Health and Hospitals/Kings County and died of his injuries shortly afterward.

Investigators treated the incident as the violent climax of an argument between dollar van drivers and collected evidence around the damaged passenger van. The shooter fled toward Snyder Avenue in a similar-looking van. On February 5, 2025, police released surveillance images and a description of a person of interest last seen wearing a black beanie, black sweater, blue sweatpants, and black boots; authorities said no arrests had been announced and the investigation was ongoing.

Did anyone in East Flatbush see the two vans or the person who ran toward Snyder Avenue that afternoon?
