Cleveland Clay, 36, was fatally shot in Brooklyn on May 1, 2023. The shooting occurred in a parking lot in East New York, on or near the stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue known as the Penn Track, an area cited in the case as an open-air commercial sex market. Clay was shot multiple times at close range and died later that day.

Authorities say that on April 30 one man dragged the woman by her hair into his car and threatened to kill her. Surveillance footage from May 1 shows the men arguing with Clay, and later captures one of the men walking to the parking lot and shooting Clay several times; he was then recorded at a nearby laundromat saying the victim was down.

Both men were arrested and indicted on charges including murder in the course of sex trafficking and sex trafficking by force. If anyone knew Clay, his movements that day, or saw footage from the Penn Track area, please share what was seen.
