Charles Powell was a 24-year-old Bronx street dancer with the BBoy Rebels who was shot and killed on the evening of May 16, 2018. Around 5:50 p.m. near East 169th Street and Clay Avenue, gunshots were reported; officers found Powell unconscious with gunshot wounds to his head and leg. He was taken to Bronx Lebanon Hospital and pronounced deceased.

Witnesses saw three men running from the scene. The NYPD investigated and later identified a person of interest: in April 2019 police released photographs of 25-year-old Shawn Lewis as someone they believed connected to the shooting. Authorities also said another person previously sought for questioning was no longer a person of interest. No public information about arrests or case resolution has been provided; the investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone knew Charles, saw activity around East 169th Street and Clay Avenue on May 16, 2018, or has information about the people seen fleeing, please come forward.
