Steven Lantigua, 18, was shot in the chest and killed on April 10, 2026, at about 3:30 p.m. on Drew Street in East New York, Brooklyn. Emergency responders transported him to One Brooklyn Health-Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Family members described him as full of life and said he may have been making an Uber Eats delivery at the time. Two young witnesses who saw him fall called 911 right away. The shooter was seen fleeing the scene, and the NYPD opened a homicide investigation; no arrests had been reported in the days immediately after the shooting.

The family has publicly pleaded for justice and asked the person responsible to turn themself in. If anyone saw the shooting, the fleeing suspect, or remembers a delivery in that area that afternoon, please come forward with information.
