David DeGrace was 36 when he was fatally shot in his Mount Vernon apartment on South Seventh Avenue on August 26, 2018. Authorities described the killing as a senseless act connected to drug-related activity; investigators later tied the death to an alleged marijuana distribution conspiracy.

The Mount Vernon Police Department and the FBI Westchester County Safe Streets Task Force worked the case over several months. In December 2018 a suspect was identified and arrested. Barry Johnson, 26, of Mount Vernon, was federally charged with aiding and abetting the murder of David DeGrace, accused of using a firearm in furtherance of narcotics trafficking.

DeGrace was known to some by the nickname Dstyles. Does anyone who knew him or who has information about the marijuana distribution activity in Mount Vernon in 2018 have details that could help?
