A few miles away from where the SUV was discovered, at the intersection of Nostrand Avenue and the freight train tracks in Flatbush, police responded to a 911 call concerning a body. DeAndre Matthews’s identity has been confirmed by police.
According to the police report, he suffered severe burns all over his body, was shot in the head, and showed symptoms of smoke inhalation. Emergency medical services pronounced him dead there.
According to the NYC Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, a gunshot wound to the head resulting in perforation of the skull and brain was the direct cause of DeAndre’s death. Homicide was the cause of death.
