NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) – The NYPD released new video Tuesday of a suspect in the fatal shooting of a Brooklyn father nearly 13 years ago.
The video is connected to the death of Jamal Singleton, 22, who was shot outside his home at Greene and Patchen avenues in Bedford-Stuyvesant on Sept. 19, 2011.
Singleton was shot in the back around 9:45 p.m. that night by a gunman who fled the scene on foot and was last seen headed westbound on Greene Avenue, police said.
Singleton was pronounced dead at NYC Health + Hospitals/Woodhull.
Singleton's 2-year-old son was with him at the time and witnessed his father being killed, his family has said.
The grainy video shows the suspect—a man in a blue baseball cap and blue sweatsuit—walking down a sidewalk that night. A single screenshot from the same video was released in 2020.
It wasn’t immediately clear why the video was just now released, but Singleton’s mother, Monica Cassaberry, told the Daily News in 2020 that investigators had informed her at least some of the video had been lost and that all they had was a still image.
“How do you lose footage like that?” she said at the time.
An NYPD spokesperson told the outlet in response that police had released the best image they had available.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
