Kyree Corley, a 22-year-old resident of Jacksonville, Florida, was fatally shot on February 25, 2017, during a chaotic scene at a music video shoot. The shooting took place in the Moncrief neighborhood, near where rapper Boosie Badazz and Baby Soulja were scheduled to film a music video. As the production was about to begin, gunshots rang out, leaving Kyree dead at the scene and four other individuals injured.
Two victims were taken to the hospital by emergency services, while two others drove themselves for treatment. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office has not identified any suspects, nor have they made any arrests related to the incident.
Cellphone footage from the scene is believed to potentially hold crucial clues, and investigators have asked for anyone with video or other information to come forward. The footage captures people running in panic as the shots were fired, providing some details that investigators are analyzing to identify persons of interest. Family members of Kyree Corley, including his cousin and aunt, have expressed their sadness and hope that the video will help bring justice. The family has denied any connection between Kyree's shooting and another incident that took place at Kelly’s Place, where a woman was also killed, dismissing speculation that it was retaliatory in nature.
The investigation into Kyree Corley's death continues, and the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office has called on anyone with information about the shooting to come forward, urging the community's cooperation to solve this tragic case. The incident remains one of several unsolved homicides that highlight the ongoing violence in Jacksonville's neighborhoods, and Kyree’s family hopes for answers and justice in light of their loss.
