Henryk Siwiak, a 46-year-old Polish immigrant and father of two, was shot dead in Brooklyn shortly before midnight on September 11, 2001. His death was recorded at 11:42 PM, making him the last person to die that day. The case remains unsolved and is considered the only homicide recorded in New York City on that fateful day, with no suspect ever arrested and no definitive motive established.
While nearly three thousand people died in the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, caused by planes hijacked by al-Qaeda terrorists, Siwiak's death remains an isolated mystery. The New York Police Department (NYPD) continues to classify the case as active and has periodically requested new information about the incident.
According to the article, former police colleagues and specialists have suggested that the case needs to be reviewed with new technologies and a fresh investigative eye in order to finally be solved.
