Police are looking for a second suspect involved in a Brooklyn shooting that left a 32-year-old man dead last month.
Law enforcement sources said Damon Gaitor had a role in the deadly shooting of Deon Williams, who was gunned down on July 13 near 68 Marcus Garvey Blvd. within the Sumner Houses, a public housing complex in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
Police describe Gaitor as a male with a heavy build and braids. He is 24 years old.
Law enforcement arrested Aaron Granton, 28, for his role in the killing. Granton was arrested on July 27 at around 3:10 a.m. within the confines of the 60th Precinct. He was charged with second-degree murder and two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
Officers from the 79th Precinct and PSA 3 responded to a 911 call of a person shot at the location, where they found Williams unconscious and unresponsive, with a gunshot wound to the torso.
EMS responded to the scene and rushed Williams to Kings County Hospital in critical condition where he was pronounced dead.
The investigation remains ongoing.
