Thirteen-year-old Troy Gill was fatally shot while walking home alone in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, on the evening of February 29, 2024. He had attended a Brooklyn Nets game at the Barclays Center and was struck in a drive-by shooting near Bergen Street and New York Avenue around 10:30 p.m. Wounded in the arm and back, Gill called his mother to say he had been shot.

She called 911 and went to meet him; he collapsed a few blocks away at St. Marks and Brooklyn avenues and was taken to New York City Health+Hospitals/Kings County, where he was pronounced dead. Investigators described the shooting as tied to gang-related retaliation connected to an earlier incident that day in the Bronx, and indicated Gill may have been targeted over a recent affiliation with a rival street gang, a connection his parents reportedly denied.

Did anyone in Crown Heights that night see anything that could help the investigation?
