Albert Leroy Moss, known professionally as DJ Uncle Al, was a prominent Miami DJ, rapper and producer who used his platform to promote local talent and organize community-focused events. Born August 14, 1969, he ran radio shows and staged live events, including the annual Peace in the Hood block party, aimed at reducing violence and supporting youth in Miami.

On September 10, 2001, at age 32, DJ Uncle Al was shot and killed in the Allapattah neighborhood of Miami. His death was reported as a case of mistaken identity and came one day before the national news of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which overshadowed coverage of the killing. A suspect was charged at one point, but those charges were later dropped in 2007.

Who in the Miami music community remembers DJ Uncle Al’s events or might have information about his murder?
