Detectives are seeking clues
and suspects behind an earlymorning
shooting in Canarsie on
Saturday that claimed a 29-yearold
man’s life.
Offi cers from the 69th Precinct
responded to a 911 call about
the shooting outside of Richard’s
Lounge, at 9402 Avenue L at about
2:34 am on Nov. 7.
Upon arriving at the scene, they
found Jahdane Olivierre, 29, of East
87th Street, with multiple gunshot
wounds to his torso and leg.
Paramedics rushed Olivierre
to Brookdale Hospital, where
he was pronounced dead a short

At this point in the investigation,
police have not yet established
a possible motive for the
murder — or a description of the
gunman.
Sources familiar with the case
said witnesses at the scene were
being “uncooperative” with detectives.
The 69th Precinct Detective
Squad and the Brooklyn South Homicide
Squad are conducting the
ongoing investigation.
