On the night of January 24, 2024, 28-year-old Shaquary Bryant was driving his blue Honda Accord through the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn on his way to an overnight shift as a youth mentor when he was shot and killed in a case of mistaken identity. Minutes earlier, a group of men had been carjacked and one of the getaway vehicles was described as a black Honda. As Bryant’s similarly colored car approached Herkimer Street near Rockaway Avenue, someone from the robbery victims’ group opened fire on his vehicle.

He was struck and died at the scene; the shooting happened at about 11:25 p.m. Authorities have described Bryant as an innocent bystander who was not involved in the earlier crime. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone knew Shaquary, saw a blue Honda Accord in that area that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
