On an early Sunday evening in January 2024, 35-year-old Richard Reed was shot multiple times in the chest in the lobby of a Farragut Houses building on Sands Street in Brooklyn. The shooting happened at about 10 p.m.; emergency responders transported Reed to a nearby hospital, but his injuries were fatal and he was pronounced dead.

The New York Police Department secured the lobby and opened a homicide investigation. Reed was a resident of the Farragut Houses; the killing left family and neighbors reeling.

Does anyone who was in or near the Sands Street lobby that night have information that could help investigators?
