Jayquan McKenley was 18 when he was shot and killed in the early hours of February 6, 2022. The aspiring drill rapper, known as Chii Wvttz, had been at a rented recording studio in Bedford-Stuyvesant and was sitting in a parked car on Greene Avenue around 2 a.m. when another vehicle pulled up and at least one person opened fire. McKenley was taken to Woodhull Hospital and pronounced dead from gunshot wounds to the chest.

Raised in the Bronx, McKenley and his family moved between homeless shelters during his childhood. School attendance was a chronic problem and he had several arrests, including one for gun possession. His music career was emerging in the drill scene, and his death prompted a public reaction that included remarks from then–New York City Mayor Eric Adams. A funeral was later held in Harlem.

Who has information about McKenley’s movements that night or the people connected to the shooting?
