Cops are continuing to dig for clues in the slaying of an East New York man at a house party in 2010.
Detectives at the 75th Precinct are seeking anyone with information in the killing of Shandev Anthony, 19, who was gunned down outside the party on Milford Street near Hegeman Avenue on Oct. 2, 2010.
“Obviously, people there know [the gunman’s] face, but no one is coming forward,” said Camir Inshiqaq, the victim’s father.
“Without partygoers’ cooperation, they can’t identify anyone.”
At some point during the party, Anthony had asked the DJ to turn on the lights so a pal could find a lost cellphone, Inshiqaq said.
A gun-toting partygoer became enraged, a fight broke out, and Anthony was fatally shot, his dad added.
