Cedrick Black, 34, was fatally shot in the chest on the North Shore of Staten Island on September 15, 2020. He had been near a makeshift memorial on Jersey Street in New Brighton where mourners had gathered a day after another killing. Witnesses reported hearing shots near Jersey Street and Crescent Avenue; police and medics took him to Richmond University Medical Center, where he died.

Initial accounts said the gunman fled and may have escaped in a black vehicle headed north on Jersey Street. Investigators canvassed the neighborhood for witnesses and leads and reported no arrest at first. Later court filings by the Richmond County District Attorney’s office identify Tyler Carmon as the person responsible; prosecutors said an illegal gun disrupted a peaceful memorial service and ended Black’s life, and Carmon later pleaded guilty to Manslaughter in the First Degree and was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
