Chilling CCTV Shows Two Men Dumping Body of 24-Year-Old Ghanaian Student on Brooklyn Sidewalk

A disturbing surveillance video has emerged showing two unidentified men dragging a large bag from a car and abandoning it on a quiet Brooklyn sidewalk. The bag contained the body of 24-year-old Joseph Owusu, a young Ghanaian man whose death has left his family and church community devastated as they desperately seek answers.

The incident unfolded overnight on October 29 in the Canarsie neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Footage reportedly shows a white sedan stopping on the street with its trunk open. One man then removes a heavy black duffel bag and struggles to drag it onto the pavement, while another person appears to assist before they leave in the vehicle. Investigators believe the footage captured the moment the men abandoned Owusu’s body.

The following morning, on October 30, a person searching for scrap metal came across the bag. Believing it might contain discarded materials, the individual reportedly moved it using a hand cart before discovering that it contained a human body. Police were called to the scene and pronounced the man dead. Owusu was subsequently identified by his family and Ghanaian officials, although New York police have not publicly released his identity.

Owusu had been living in the Bronx and was studying computer science while working as a caregiver supporting people with disabilities. He was also a talented musician who served as an organist at his church. His brother, Kojo Yeboah, described him as a beloved family member who could spend hours practicing the piano to perfect his performances. Church members also remembered him as a dedicated musician who could lead the choir whenever the director was absent.

His family is struggling to understand how the young man lost his life. Yeboah said he had watched the surveillance footage repeatedly but could not recognize either of the individuals involved. He has appealed to anyone who might identify the men or know something about his brother’s final days to come forward. The family is also seeking justice and answers about what happened before the body was left on the sidewalk.

As of November 8, no arrests had been announced in connection with the case. The medical examiner’s investigation into the cause of death was still ongoing, and authorities had not publicly established how Owusu died or what led to his body being abandoned. For his loved ones, the unanswered questions have made an already heartbreaking loss even harder to bear.
