A celebration on Labor Day turned deadly when 25-year-old Denzel A. Chan, a visitor from Texas, was fatally shot during the West Indian Day Parade in Brooklyn. The shooting happened around 2:30 p.m. near 301 Eastern Parkway; Chan was struck in the abdomen and died after being taken to Kings County Hospital. Four other people, ages 16 to 69, were also hit and were expected to survive.

Investigators say a gunman climbed onto a cement barrier and fired multiple times into the crowd. He was described as a Black man in his 20s with a slim build, wearing a brown shirt with paint stains and a black bandana. Police consider the attack targeted and gang-related, though several bystanders were wounded in the indiscriminate gunfire. The NYPD appealed for video and other tips but the shooter remains at large; an earlier incorrect identification of a teenager prompted a public apology from police.

Anyone with video or information about the shooting near Eastern Parkway is asked to come forward.
