Frank Snyder, 35, a Brooklyn rapper known as Hollywood Play, was fatally shot outside the Tavern Lounge in Woodhaven, Queens on October 7, 2018, at about 3:15 a.m. Snyder, a father of six who often performed and hosted events at the club, was hosting a birthday party when a black sedan approached and a gunman inside opened fire. Snyder was struck in the neck and leg, was the only person hit, and was pronounced dead at Jamaica Hospital.

Investigators treated Snyder as the intended target. His mother suggested jealousy within the music scene as a possible motive while saying he had no known enemies. For years the case remained unsolved, but in September 2024 a grand jury indicted Johnathan Rice, 43, of Jamaica, Queens, on second-degree murder charges. Surveillance footage, motor vehicle records linking a black Lexus to Rice, and cell phone data placing him near the Tavern Lounge that night are described as central evidence.

Did anyone who knew Snyder or his performances at the Tavern Lounge witness the October 7, 2018 night or recognize the vehicle seen on surveillance?
