What to Know
College student Connor Golden lost his foot when he stepped on a homemade explosive in Central Park in July 2016
Investigators are still looking for the person who planted the explosive powder, though they don t think it was motivated by terrorism
Golden s family has been searching for clues themselves, and found what could be a game-changer in an old Instagram comment
For the parents of Connor Golden, it is almost unbelievable.

Witness Kevin Golden said the house where the shooting happened is a short-term rental with parties almost every weekend. He said he was backing out of his driveway around 8 p.m. Saturday when he heard the shots fired. A barrage of gunfire, went on for a good 30 seconds, at least 40 or 50 probably, Golden said.

Miami-Dade Police officials said the gunman or gunmen were unknown, but the reward for information is the case was up to $15,000.
