On July 3, 2022, 27-year-old Dominique Eley was shot multiple times in the torso outside the Ida Yarbrough Apartments on North Pearl Street in Albany, New York. Paramedics treated her at the scene and she was taken to Albany Medical Center, where she died a short time later. She was days away from her 28th birthday.

Dominique, known by her stage name Kay Hollywood, was a music artist and entrepreneur who founded the streetwear label YRR Clothing Co. A graduate of Albany High School and the New School Center for Media, she had opened for the rapper Cassidy in Brooklyn and was described as a community-minded figure who supported other local business owners.

The investigation identified 31-year-old Tyshaun Purvis of Troy as the person arrested in connection with her killing; he was indicted on second-degree murder and related weapons and drug charges. Dominique’s family spoke publicly about their grief and the loss of a young woman on the rise. If anyone knew Dominique, her movements that day, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
