Hakeim Poizon Hutchinson, 31, was fatally shot outside a home on Rockaway Parkway in Brooklyn on the morning of July 3, 2025. Police say the shooting occurred just after 7:30 a.m. on the block between Avenue B and Ditmas Avenue. Neighbors reported hearing screaming and found Hutchinson gravely wounded; officers from the NYPD’s 67th Precinct located him with a gunshot wound to the chest and he was taken to Brookdale University Hospital, where he died.

Investigators said the shooting followed an argument in the street. Witnesses described a male suspect who fled southbound on Ditmas Avenue wearing a white shirt and black sweatpants; an NYPD drone reportedly later spotted someone matching that description near train tracks by Avenue D. No arrests had been announced in the days immediately after the killing. Officers noted no shell casings at the scene, leading to early speculation that a revolver might have been used, though the weapon type was not officially confirmed.

Detectives canvassed the neighborhood and sought surveillance footage to reconstruct the confrontation and the suspect’s escape route. If anyone saw what happened that morning or has information about the man who ran from Rockaway Parkway, please share what you know.
