Suspect wanted for 2020 Brooklyn fatal shooting tracked down to Cleveland: NYPD

A suspect wanted for a Brooklyn fatal shooting more than three years ago has been nabbed in Cleveland, police said Wednesday.

Robert Bryson, a 65-year-old ex-con, was returned to the city Tuesday following his Aug. 22 arrest in Cleveland, where he had been living. He was charged with the July 18, 2020 shooting death of Nicholas Isaac, 23, at a Crown Heights bike shop.

Isaac was affiliated with the Bloods, police said, and his slaying is believed to be linked to gangs and drugs.

Video released by the NYPD at the time shows the shooter stalking the victim inside Fly E-bike, a bike and scooter shop on Nostrand Ave. near Bergen St. The footage cuts away before the shooting, though the gunman can later be seen fleeing on a scooter.

The victim and the gunman got into an argument outside the store, police said, with Isaac running into the shop when he was shot at and trying to close the door behind him.

But Isaac was struck in the legs and upper body — and then refused to cooperate with police when he was asked who shot him and why. Medics rushed Isaac to Kings County Hospital, where he died.

Bryson was identified as the suspected gunman a day later and eventually tracked to Cleveland.

The suspect has 11 New York City arrests on his record, including one for attempted murder in 1985. Records show he served three years in state prison, ending in November 1980, following a weapon possession conviction in Brooklyn.

Isaac, who lived in Clinton Hill, had one prior arrest for rape and one for felony criminal mischief, police said.

A relative at a small memorial set up on the stoop of the victim’s home after the murder called him a “good kid.”
