CROWN HEIGHTS – POLICE SAY THAT on Saturday, Nov. 1 at 8:47 p.m., officers responding to a 911 call at an Eastern Parkway apartment complex, near Lincoln Terrace, discovered 16-year-old Tyson Harps, Jr., of the Bronx, unconscious and unresponsive, with a gunshot wound to the head. EMS responded and pronounced Harps deceased on scene. 

Family members gathered on Sunday to mourn and remember the teenager, who they described as a loving brother and son, and to ask the public for information on the case. “We’re just trying to understand. What was so bad that they wanted to take him away forever?” Harps’ grandmother told CBS News.

No arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing.
