On the early evening of October 26, 2022, 29-year-old James Caldwell Jr. was fatally shot near the intersection of Horton Avenue and Colonel Lee Archer Boulevard in New Rochelle, New York. Caldwell, a rising local rapper known as Boogie Nation, was found with multiple gunshot wounds and taken to a hospital, where he died. He was a father and a celebrated figure in his community.

Investigators focused on an acquaintance, Mtayari Z. Dixon, then 29, after surveillance footage showed a man identified as Dixon approaching Caldwell before shots were fired and calmly walking away toward the Metro-North station. Cell phone records placed Dixon traveling from New Rochelle to a New York City bus station, then to Atlanta, Georgia, and onward through South Carolina to Charlotte, North Carolina, where his phone was turned off. A state arrest warrant for murder and a federal warrant for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution were issued, and authorities say Dixon remains a fugitive and is considered armed and dangerous.

Did anyone in the area know Caldwell or see anything that evening that could help investigators?
