On the evening of November 30, 2022, 14-year-old Prince Allah Shabazz was walking with his older brother in Fordham Heights, the Bronx, when two people who had been lying in wait behind a parked car emerged and opened fire. Prince was struck multiple times in the chest, hip, and foot, taken to St. Barnabas Hospital, and died of his injuries. Family remembered him as a talented artist and a cheerful, thoughtful boy, one of seven siblings.

Surveillance footage captured the masked assailants ambushing the brothers and fleeing. Investigators treated the attack as connected to a violent feud tied to drill rap; they believed Prince’s older brother, an aspiring drill rapper with ties to a group called the Grizzly Gang, may have been the intended target in a rivalry with the Slattery Park gang. In late December 2022 a 17-year-old girl was arrested after detectives traced her to a social media post about a hospital visit; she was charged with murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon. Police said they were still seeking two male suspects who may have been involved.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see the parked car or the assailants that night or have other information about the shooting?
