In the early morning hours of June 24, 2015, in Mount Vernon, New York, the life of 26-year-old Kevin Tyrell Shaw, a male former assistant basketball coach at Concordia College, was tragically cut short. He, along with 27-year-old Allashun Clay, was found in a devastating single-car accident. Their BMW convertible had been speeding when it struck a parked SUV and overturned.
Initially, the scene at the intersection of East Third Street and Warwick Avenue appeared to be a fatal traffic
accident. However, as first responders worked to extricate the two men from the overturned vehicle, a more sinister reality emerged. Both Shaw and Clay had sustained gunshot wounds. This discovery immediately shifted the focus of the investigation from a mere car crash to a double homicide. The central question for investigators became whether the men succumbed to their injuries from the gunshots or the subsequent crash.
The duo had reportedly been at a music release party at a local club, Sue's Rendezvous, earlier in the evening. The timeline of events leading from the club to the fatal crash and shooting remains a critical part of the police inquiry. Despite the public nature of the incident and the initial investigation, there has been no information released to the public regarding any specific suspects or arrests in connection with the deaths of Kevin Tyrell Shaw and Allashun Clay. The case has left a lingering sense of unanswered questions for the community and the families of the two young men whose lives were violently ended.
