On October 1, 2021, around 11:30 p.m., officers responded to shots fired near the Prospect Avenue Basketball Courts. Police later discovered that a struggle ensued in the area and continued through the 100 block of Prospect Avenue. However, no victims were injured. Narcisse was later identified as the shooter in that incident.
