Kevon Lee, 41, was killed during a Memorial Day morning trip to Xpress Laundromat at 1809 Utica Avenue in Flatlands. Police say the shooting occurred about 8:00 a.m. on May 25, 2026. Officers who answered a 911 call found Lee with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County and pronounced dead. A 68-year-old man was grazed in the foot and survived.

Witnesses described more than 10 people inside the 24-hour laundromat when a masked man entered, fired five or six shots, and fled. Customers reportedly scrambled for cover; some hid in a bathroom. Surveillance footage and on-scene accounts suggested Lee may have been specifically targeted. Lee’s wife was reportedly with him and tried to help after he was shot. No arrests have been announced and authorities characterized the investigation as active and ongoing.

Did anyone in the area that morning see the masked man arriving or leaving, or notice anything unusual before the shooting?
