Two local rappers were killed in an early-morning shooting in Shaker Heights on November 24, 2024. Police responded about 3:30 a.m. to multiple shots in the 17000 block of Shaker Boulevard and found 24-year-old Nisiah Sanders, known as Nahzzy, and 30-year-old Myron Rainey, known as Press PlayMJ, dead in the driveway of a residence. Both had attended a party at the house earlier that night.

Family remembered Sanders as joyful and playful with a love for music and Rainey for his infectious smile and warm personality. The property where the shooting occurred had been the subject of eviction proceedings for unpaid rent and multiple police calls for illegal activity, including drug use and violent confrontations. No arrests have been announced and investigators say they have no evidence a third party was involved; the inquiry remains open.

Anyone who knew the victims or saw what happened is asked to share information with investigators.
