Naveed Afzal was 52 when he was shot while sitting in his black Mercedes‑Benz taxi in front of 320 Lincoln Place in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, on the night of June 20, 2024. Two unidentified men approached his vehicle from behind at about 10 p.m. and fired a single shot that struck him in the face. Witnesses saw the two men flee on foot.

Afzal, who had moved from Pakistan to New York to provide for his four children and had recently begun driving a taxi after selling property back home, was taken to New York‑Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital in critical condition and died on June 23, 2024. The NYPD recovered a gun at the scene; ownership of the weapon has not been determined and no arrests have been announced. The suspects are described as two men with dark complexions, about 18 to 25 years old — one in a black hooded sweatshirt and another in a blue hooded sweatshirt.

The family planned to return Afzal’s body to Faisalabad, Pakistan, for burial. If anyone saw activity around 320 Lincoln Place the night of June 20 or has information about the two men seen fleeing, please share what is known.
