On the evening of July 28, 2023, 28-year-old Clayvon Buckner was shot on West 147th Street in Harlem, New York. He was found with a gunshot wound, taken to a local hospital, and pronounced dead upon arrival. Buckner is remembered by family and friends as a kind and funny person whose life was cut short.

The investigation continued for months after the killing. In March 2024 the New York Police Department arrested 41-year-old Glen Galley, who lived about a block from the scene, in connection with the shooting. Galley was charged with murder, criminal possession of a weapon, and reckless endangerment.

Buckner’s family and community have been left grieving and seeking justice. If anyone knew Clayvon or has information about the shooting on West 147th Street, please come forward.
