On the late evening of September 30, 2016, a burst of gunfire at the corner of 12th Avenue and East 23rd Street in Paterson, New Jersey, left 29-year-old Cosmeik C. Gee, sitting in his Chevrolet Camaro, critically wounded. He was taken to St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center and was pronounced dead on October 1, 2016.

Surveillance footage showed a dark-colored Audi pull up to Gee’s vehicle. The passenger, later identified as Gyasi Allen, exited the Audi and fired multiple rounds into the Camaro; Jamal Wade was identified as the driver of the stolen Audi and an accomplice. Both men were located after a manhunt and arrested — Wade in Paterson and Allen in Florence County, South Carolina, by the United States Marshals Service.

A jury in December 2018 found Allen and Wade guilty of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder, among other charges, and both received sentences of more than 30 years. The motive for Gee’s killing was not established during the legal proceedings.

Did anyone in Paterson know Cosmeik Gee or have information about why he was targeted?
