Lamont Coleman, 24, known professionally as Big L, was killed in a drive-by shooting on the evening of February 15, 1999, on West 139th Street in Harlem near his home. He was struck by nine bullets to the face and chest while his rap career was on the verge of wider success; he was reportedly negotiating with Roc-A-Fella Records at the time.

Investigators arrested a childhood friend, Gerard Woodley, in May 1999 as a suspect. Authorities considered a motive tied to retaliation for Coleman’s older brother, Leroy Big Lee Phinazee, who was incarcerated, and some accounts suggested possible mistaken identity. The case against Woodley was later dismissed for lack of sufficient evidence and witnesses, and Coleman's murder remains an unsolved cold case.

Does anyone in Harlem at the time remember details from that night or have information that could help reopen leads?
