Jesse Christie was 29 when he was fatally shot on a Bronx street in the early hours of February 9, 2020. Police responded at about 2:27 a.m. to a 911 report of a man shot outside a residence on East 137th Street near Willis Avenue; Christie was found with a gunshot wound to the chest and died after being taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln.

Investigators stated the shooting grew out of a dispute over drugs. Less than a month later, on March 7, 2020, 26-year-old Joshua Slade turned himself in at the 40th Precinct and was arrested and charged with murder and assault in connection with Christie’s death.

If anyone was in the area of East 137th Street and Willis Avenue that night or has information about the dispute, please share what is known with authorities.
