A suspect has been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting at a Brooklyn laundromat, where police are investigating whether a tracking device was used to locate the victim. Adolphus Black, 57, was charged Tuesday with murder and gun possession for the May 25 shooting inside the XPress Laundromat on Utica Avenue near Avenue J in the Flatbush neighborhood.

The victim, 41-year-old Kevon Lee, was shot multiple times in the chest and stomach while folding clothes alongside his wife. Lee was pronounced dead about 30 minutes after being transported to Kings County Hospital. A second individual, a 58-year-old man, was grazed in the foot by a bullet fragment but is expected to recover.

According to Lee’s wife, Khilifah Pierre, the attack appeared to be an ambush. She described how the gunman approached from behind while they were engaged in conversation before opening fire. Pierre attempted to administer chest compressions and support her husband’s head but was unable to save him.

Law enforcement officials revealed that police found an AirTag tracking device inside Lee’s vehicle. Detectives are looking into whether Black may have used the device to monitor Lee’s movements prior to the shooting. Authorities have not confirmed a motive at this stage of the investigation.

Following his arrest early Tuesday near his Brooklyn residence, Black was identified in surveillance footage linked to the incident and allegedly seen displaying and discharging a handgun. At his arraignment Wednesday in Brooklyn Criminal Court, Assistant District Attorney Ari Rottenberg cited the surveillance evidence as part of the case against Black.

Black’s attorney, Jonathan Fink, denied his client’s involvement in the murder and requested bail, but Judge Natalie Barros ordered Black held without bail pending his next court appearance on Friday. Black’s wife was present in court and became emotional as he was taken back into custody.

Black has a history of criminal arrests dating back to the 1980s, including charges for robbery, assault, and marijuana possession. Lee had several arrests over a decade old related to unauthorized vehicle use.

The use of tracking devices in violent crimes has attracted increased law enforcement attention. Last month, two men were federally indicted for allegedly employing a similar tactic to target and kill a man in the Bronx. Investigators are continuing to examine whether such devices played a role in the Brooklyn shooting.
