Albany’s first homicide of 2018 occurred on the afternoon of January 4, when 35-year-old Anthony L. Malloy was fatally shot at the intersection of First and Quail streets. Malloy, a father of three known affectionately as BAM or UPT, was crossing the street when a shooter opened fire, striking him multiple times including a fatal wound to the torso. A family member tried to get him to medical care, flagging down an ambulance on Henry Johnson Boulevard, but Malloy was later pronounced dead at Albany Medical Center Hospital.

Investigators concluded Malloy was the intended target. In August 2018 an indictment named 27-year-old state prison inmate Shakir Redmon, also known as Face and Ghost, charging him with second-degree murder, conspiracy, weapon possession, and drug possession and alleging he and others conspired to murder Malloy and that Redmon obtained a vehicle for the attack. In March 2019 Redmon pleaded guilty to a lesser conspiracy charge and was sentenced to 7 ½ to 15 years in state prison for his role. No one else has been charged in the shooting itself.

Did anyone in the community know Malloy as BAM or UPT or have information about associates who might help explain who else was involved?
