Kenneth Taveras, 33, was shot multiple times in the chest on the night of March 3, 2024, in the parking lot of the Polo Grounds Towers NYCHA complex in New York and later died at a local hospital. He lived with his family at the complex; his mother described him as a good man who helped others. Taveras had recently enlisted in the Army and was about three months from beginning duty, a future his family had celebrated.

Witnesses reported seeing three to five men flee the scene in a dark-colored pickup truck, and the NYPD opened an investigation. More than a month after the shooting, authorities identified 24-year-old Gekron Williams as a person of interest; no arrests had been announced at that time. If anyone knew Kenneth or saw activity in the Polo Grounds Towers parking lot on March 3, please share information with investigators.
