Pressie Taylor Jr. was a 26-year-old aspiring rapper from Harlem who was shot in the back of the head on August 28, 2016, after a dispute over a luxury car rental intended for a music video. The conflict began when Pressie paid an upfront fee to a man named Chester Taylor, who ran an illicit car rental operation, but did not receive the vehicle and was refused a refund. Pressie repeatedly demanded his money back over the following weeks, and the disagreement escalated into violence.

Pressie initially survived and was hospitalized, later relocating to Houston, Texas, while still suffering complications from the head injury. On March 24, 2018, he died after suffering a seizure; the New York City Medical Examiner determined the seizure resulted from the 2016 gunshot wound and ruled the death a homicide. Were there anyone who knew Pressie or saw him in Harlem in 2016 who can add details about the rental dispute or the shooting?
