Around 3:00 a.m. on February 17, 2005, New York City transit workers found two suspicious bags alongside the track at the Nostrand Avenue station in Brooklyn. They contained body parts of 19 year old Rashawn Brazell.
The first 72 hours of a murder investigation are the most important, police will tell you, because evidence is fresh, memories still vivid and odds are favorable that clues will result in someone’s arrest. Beyond that, the chances diminish precipitously.
It is now three years later and one of the most gruesome crimes New York City history remains unsolved. The trail is growing cold.
Someone, somewhere, knows something. Keep Rashawn’s memory alive and the hope for closure a possibility.

THis case is close to all of our hearts. Rashawn’s killer will never have an peace until we know the truth. We will never let this go.
We’ll keep talking about it, writing about it, probing and investigating similar murders, all in the hopes of rooting out the culprit.
Someone knows something. He may even be reading this.
I believe that the more we write and conspire about it and keep it in the media that we will find who did this and Rashawn’s parent can finally rest witht he culprit at hand.
Thanks for all of you advice that u have given me and i would love to meet you and thank you for it… I will take upon your advice. It’s not the first time it was mention to me.
Thanks again and i love your writing.

I literally have tears coming down my eyes. Everytime aI see a posting about Rashawn I get emotion and it has been how many years? I am confounded. Are there no video surveillance in the subways. I think I get MORE angry every time I am reminded of this case. That killer must have committed suicide, who could live with them self? That person is not HUMAN. To think no massive media coverage for such a large city like NYC is media bias to the hilts.
