On July 14, 2018, at about 12:30 a.m. in Albany, New York, 31-year-old Kahlil Barnes was found inside his car at the intersection of Quail and First streets suffering gunshot wounds. Paramedics took him to Albany Medical Center, where he died. His death was one of several homicides that summer in the city.

Police investigation led to the November 2018 arrest of 23-year-old Neshad Grady, also known as Moo Moo. Grady was indicted on second-degree murder and two counts of weapon possession; authorities alleged the shooting was retaliatory gang violence linked to Barnes’s past affiliation with the Jungle Junkies and the recent killing of Elijah Cancer of the rival Original Gangsta Killers, though Barnes was not considered a suspect in Cancer’s death.

Grady rejected a plea offer that would have required a guilty plea to first-degree manslaughter for a 22-year sentence. In August 2019 a jury found him guilty of second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon; sentencing had been scheduled but was postponed after he sought to fire his attorney. Does anyone have information about Barnes’s movements that night or relevant local tips?
