Adama Camara, 28, was shot dead in the early morning of May 6, 2023, after an argument that began inside a Bronx club moved outside. Police found the male victim unconscious and unresponsive about 4:30 a.m. near East 139th Street and Morris Avenue in Mott Haven with a fatal gunshot wound to the head; emergency personnel pronounced him deceased at the scene.

Investigators say the dispute concerned money and involved another man; the argument escalated and culminated in the shooting. Police identified a suspect and, on May 24, 2023, arrested 36-year-old Damian Stapleton. Stapleton was charged with murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a loaded firearm; reports say he had been out on bail from a December gun possession case. Both Camara and Stapleton were reported to have prior arrest records, Camara’s including robbery and assault.

If anyone witnessed the argument outside the club or has information about the night of May 6, please come forward.
