In the early hours of May 5, 2022, a deadly dispute inside a makeshift recording studio near Midtown Manhattan ended with two men dead. Thirty-four-year-old Kamir King was found on the third floor of an adjacent building at 354 West 37th Street with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. Twenty-four-year-old Devon Dillahunt was discovered unresponsive in front of the studio with a gunshot wound to his torso. Both were transported to Bellevue Hospital but did not survive. A firearm was recovered near Dillahunt’s body.

Investigators say the shooting grew out of an ongoing dispute and appears to have been planned. Arrests followed: on July 11, 2022, 24-year-old Kabal Reyes of Linden, New Jersey, was charged with murder; on July 25, 2022, 21-year-old Daniel Williams of New Jersey was charged with murder; and on July 28, 2022, 18-year-old Justin Rodriguez of Staten Island was arrested and charged with murder. The specific circumstances of the dispute and what triggered the shooting have not been publicly detailed.

If anyone has information about the events at the studio that night or knew either victim, please come forward with tips.
