STEVE SCHILIRO, being duly sworn, deposes and states that he is a Special
Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, duly appointed according to law and acting
as such.
Upon information and belief, on or about July 4, 2020, within the Eastern
District of New York, the defendant MALIEK MILLER, knowing that he had previously

Because the purpose of this Complaint is to set forth only those facts necessary
to establish probable cause to arrest, I have not described all the relevant facts and
circumstances of which I am aware.

and have been involved in the investigation of numerous cases involving street gangs
involved in criminal activity including murder, assault, drug trafficking, firearms offenses
and fraud. I am familiar with the facts and circumstances set forth below from my
defendant’s criminal history record; and from reports of other law enforcement officers
witnesses and my review of surveillance footage, there is probable cause to believe that on
July 4, 2020, the defendant Maliek Miller possessed a .380 caliber shell casing, which he
discharged from a firearm by firing it in front of 1259 Loring Avenue, a residential building
in the Louis H. Pink Houses, a New York City Housing Authority complex in East New
York, Brooklyn (the “Pink Houses”). My review of surveillance video of the incident
reveals that, among others, Shatavia Walls was present when the defendant discharged the
firearm. I am aware that three days later, on July 7, 2020, Ms. Walls was repeatedly shot in
the Pink Houses and that two different caliber shell casings (.380 caliber and .40 caliber)
were recovered from the scene; Ms. Walls later died from her injuries. I am aware that an
analyst from the New York City Police Department Firearm Analysis Section compared the
single .380 caliber shell casing recovered from the July 4 shooting and the July 7 shooting
and determined that they were fired from the same firearm.
defendant Maliek Miller for a number of years, of the following in sum and substance and in
part: (i) on July 4, 2020, the defendant Maliek Miller approached a group of people that
Case 1:20-cr-00331-RRM Document 1 Filed 08/07/20 Page 3 of 5 PageID #: 3
included Ms. Walls in front of 1259 Loring Avenue; (ii) an argument and physical
confrontation ensued; (iii) during the physical confrontation, the defendant Maliek Miller
fired a single round from a firearm before leaving the area; (iv) after the shooting, a driver’s
license bearing the defendant’s name and photograph was present on the ground in the
vicinity of where the physical confrontation had taken place, as was a single shell casing; and
(v) Ms. Walls took custody of the driver’s license and shell casing.
footage of the incident and of the defendant prior to the shooting, which I have reviewed.
On the surveillance footage, I observed a person who appears to be the defendant Maliek
Miller (based on my familiarity with his photograph as depicted on his driver’s license and
criminal history report) in the lobby of 2676 Linden Boulevard, another residential building
in the Pink Houses, shortly before the shooting wearing distinctive shorts. At approximately
9:55 p.m., the same individual (still wearing the distinctive shorts) walked toward 1259
Loring Avenue in the company of another man. I am aware that Ms. Walls—with whom I
front of 1259 Loring Avenue at that time. It is apparent that a physical confrontation
ensues, albeit partly off-camera. Immediately prior to that, the man with whom the
defendant was walking as he approached 1259 Loring Avenue entered the building and
remained inside while the defendant was engaged in the physical confrontation immediately
outside. The moment at which the firearm was fired is apparent from the reaction of those
in the immediate vicinity; specifically, Ms. Walls and others abruptly disperse from the
immediate area where the physical confrontation had occurred and the defendant (who is
identifiable from his distinctive shorts) runs away from 1259 Loring Avenue. The portion

of the surveillance video surrounding the firing of the gun is consistent with the eyewitness
accounts.
5. On July 21, 2020, I took custody of the RP .380 caliber shell casing and
driver’s license bearing the defendant’s name and photograph that, according to the
eyewitnesses, had previously been in Ms. Walls’ custody. I received these items from a
family member of Ms. Walls, who reported to me that Ms. Walls had entrusted the items to
this family member on July 5, 2020, one day after the shooting took place. Said family
member retained custody of the items until turning them over to law enforcement.
6. I am aware that the shell casing I received from Ms. Walls’ family
member is an RP .380 caliber shell casing. I am informed by a fellow FBI Special Agent
who has been qualified as an Interstate Nexus Specialist that the RP .380 caliber shell casing

under court supervision following his conviction on December 6, 2017, by guilty plea, to
Attempted Assault in the First Degree (Intent to Cause Serious Injury With a Weapon), in
violation of New York Penal Law Section 120.10(1). For this offense he was subsequently
issued for the defendant MALlEK MILLER so that he may be dealt with according to law.
