Tylik Allen was 18 when he was shot and killed in Harlem on the night of September 30, 2017. A senior and running back at KIPP NYC College Prep in the Bronx, Allen was walking with friends near West 115th Street and Lenox Avenue when an assailant chased him up the block and opened fire, striking him multiple times in the chest and back. He was taken to Mount Sinai St. Luke’s Hospital and later died. The shooting happened the night before his team’s scheduled game; the game was canceled.

Allen, who was Jamaican-American, had interests in rap music and fashion. Friends, family and classmates held an impromptu memorial outside his home, and the New York City Council was later petitioned to co-name West 112th Street at Malcolm X Boulevard as Tylik Allen Way. The killer fled the scene, a motive has not been released, and no arrests have been announced.

Does anyone have information about the night of September 30, 2017, or saw activity near West 115th Street and Lenox Avenue that could help identify who fled the scene?
