Nyasia Knox, 20, was visiting from Georgia when she was shot to death on July 23, 2021, in an apartment on Overlook Drive in Farmingville, New York. Two others in the home, Richard Castano, 31, and Diamond Schick, 24, were also found shot dead; Knox’s infant daughter was found physically unharmed in a nearby room. A relative discovered the scene and called 911. Police reported signs of forced entry, including a broken doorjamb, and described the incident as a targeted attack rather than a random act of violence.

In January 2024 a federal indictment unsealed charges tied to the triple homicide as part of a wider racketeering case against alleged members of the Bloods. Kendrick Seymore was named in that indictment and charged in connection with the killings; prosecutors allege he and an accomplice entered the apartment to commit a robbery and that Seymore shot the three occupants. The indictment was later superseded to add further charges against Seymore and others for violent crimes between 2016 and 2022.
