Tamika Powell, 36, was shot and killed the evening of June 25, 2025, at the intersection of Carlton Avenue and Pacific Street in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. Officers found her unconscious with a gunshot wound to the head; she was pronounced dead at the scene. Powell was a mother of two and is described by family as a free spirit.

Minutes before the shooting she had been at a nearby barbecue and was seen arguing with a man, according to witnesses and her mother, Norma Campbell. Witnesses say Powell left the gathering shortly after the dispute; the same man reportedly put on a mask, followed her and then shot her. The shooter was seen fleeing down Pacific Street wearing beige pants, a white shirt and a black mask. Detectives initially considered a stray-bullet theory but an eyewitness account of the argument refocused the inquiry. As of late June 2025 no arrests had been announced and the NYPD continued to seek surveillance footage.

Did anyone in Prospect Heights see the man described or have footage from that stretch of Pacific Street on the night of June 25?
