Joel Jay-Gunz Baba, 22, was fatally shot on July 5, 2020, in the hallway of an apartment building at 306 East 171st Street in the Bronx. The attack occurred about 8:00 p.m.; surveillance video reportedly shows two gunmen opening fire on three men who were crouched outside an apartment door.

Joel Baba, an aspiring rapper of Ghanaian descent known as Jay Gunz, was struck multiple times in the torso, arm, and leg and later died at St. Barnabas Hospital. The same shooting also killed 23-year-old Eghosa Imafidon, who sustained wounds to the neck, head, and arm, and wounded 29-year-old Mohammed Baba. Investigators said the shooting was believed to be retaliation for the earlier killing of another man a few blocks away.

Who in the community might have seen the gunmen or the three victims that evening and can add details about what led up to the hallway confrontation?
