A violent daytime shooting on Delaware Avenue in Albany left 21-year-old Davyjian Grier dead during rush hour. On July 9, 2024, around 5 p.m., a dispute escalated when a man on foot approached Grier’s car and began firing a handgun into the vehicle. Grier tried to escape by driving off with his girlfriend and her two children inside, but the shooter continued firing and discharged thirteen rounds.

Grier’s vehicle struck a parking lot at a Stewart’s Shop on the corner of Southern Boulevard and he was pronounced dead at the scene; the three passengers were uninjured. Surveillance video captured the shooter fleeing the area on foot. The Albany Police Department launched an investigation and used the footage to identify a suspect.

Was anyone in the area that evening aware of the initial dispute or saw the shooter before the shooting?
