Tahliq Raymond Rogers, 27, known as Freaky Tah of the Lost Boyz, was fatally shot in Queens on March 28, 1999. He was leaving a friend’s party at a Sheraton Hotel when he was ambushed and shot once in the head in what investigators describe as a case of mistaken identity. Reports say the shooter, Kelvin Jones, was targeting someone tied to a separate dispute and wrongly believed Rogers was connected to that person.

The investigation named three suspects. Kelvin Jones was identified as the gunman; Rasheem Fletcher and Ryan Frith were said to have been with Jones in a minivan at the time. Arrests followed and guilty pleas were entered in the case: Jones pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received 15 years to life, Fletcher pleaded guilty to manslaughter and received seven years, and Frith pleaded guilty to criminal facilitation.

Three days after Rogers was killed, a friend of his, Corey Bussey, shot and killed Roderick Paget believing Paget was involved in the rapper’s death; Bussey was later convicted of second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon and sentenced to 15 years. Does anyone have memories of Freaky Tah, the party that night, or other details that could shed more light on what happened?
