A series of statements, photos and disputes culminated in a final farewell.
I don’t know when our last goodbye may be.
So gang, family, I love yawl.
All of the pain and anger that has simmered for nearly three years among family and friends of the late Jahade Chancey reached a boiling point in state Supreme Court, where a woman who pleaded guilty for her part in 23-year-old jahade chancey’s murder, heard from those still dealing with the loss.
Ming Liu, 31, was sentenced in front of a crowd of the victim’s supporters, to 16 years prison, followed by five years post release supervision.
But what happened?
How did she end up in this situation?
Ming liu, a mother, was an aspiring rapper repping staten island.
She rapped under the alias, china doll.
On her road to achieve stardom, she was shouted out by other rappers, such as tee grizzly.
There was speculation as to why the events we are about to speak about took place.
Liu, authorities say, acted in concert with Darren (Frenchie) Boyd, 32, and Charles Brooks, 31, in the 2021 murder, it is alleged.
The trio was trying to collect money owed to Liu by an unnamed person affiliated with the studio, where chancey was at.
Liu and Boyd were at the time listed at a home address on 20th street in Newark.
Brooks also called Newark home, authorities said.
In regard to Boyd’s ongoing case, he “has and continues to maintain his innocence,” said attorney Mario Gallucci on Monday.
“We have conducted the pre-trial hearings and are looking forward to trial.” Brooks’ attorney declined to comment.
Court documents allege the plot was hatched on Jan.
10, 2021, six days before the shooting, when Boyd and Liu told Brooks that someone at the studio owed Liu money.
Liu’s social media posts around the time revealed a dispute with individuals on Staten Island and possibly other social ties to the borough.
Ultimately, the group decided to hold up the studio for jewelry and cash.
On the evening of Jan.
16, they allegedly drove to Staten Island in a white BMW.
Liu, parked the car on Hillside Avenue while an armed Boyd and Brooks walked to demlow studio on Van Duzer.
Brooks was armed with an assault rifle and Boyd was armed with a handgun.
Brooks rang the Ring doorbell at the location and attempted to gain access to the studio by using the barrel of his rifle to wedge the door open.
There were numerous individuals inside the location who blocked the door.
When Brooks could not gain access, boyd began shooting into the location.
When they began to flee, boyd fired two more rounds through the window of the location.
One of those rounds struck and killed the victim, Jahade Chancey.
