Kasiem McCaskill was 22 when he was shot multiple times on Carroll Street in Paterson, New Jersey in the early morning of Sunday, August 28, 2016. He was taken to St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center and died there the following day. A 24-year-old man was also wounded in the same attack and hospitalized in critical condition.

McCaskill, a lifelong Paterson resident known as Ka Ka and also by the moniker 100k, was a father to a son. Police launched an investigation after the shooting and initially made no arrests; city leaders announced a reward fund soon afterward to help bring those responsible to justice. No specific suspects have been publicly identified in connection with his killing.

McCaskill’s death reportedly split a local street gang called the Brick Squad and helped produce two rival factions, one styling itself 100k Enterprise in his honor. The investigation into the Carroll Street double shooting remained active. If anyone knew Kasiem, saw the shooting, or has information about the Carroll Street attack, please share what is known.
