Akeem Mahid Stevens Jr., known as Keem Keem, was 14 when he was shot in the head inside a Conklin Street residence in Poughkeepsie on the evening of January 8, 2021. He was taken to MidHudson Regional Hospital, then airlifted to Westchester Medical Center, and died of his injuries on January 10, 2021.

Akeem was a student in the Poughkeepsie City School District, the oldest of eight children, and remembered as a happy, friendly boy who loved basketball and music. Investigators reported that girls who were at the residence during the shooting were either unable or unwilling to provide crucial information, which investigators said impeded progress in the case. No arrests have been made.

Akeem’s death was the third teenage gun violence fatality in Poughkeepsie in seven months. Did anyone have contact with Akeem or knowledge of the events that night who could help investigators?
