Lil Tjay

Witnesses of the June 22 Lil Tjay shooting in Edgewater describe an intense and chaotic scene in 911 calls obtained by The Record.

The guard told the dispatcher that the man was on the phone with his mother. The guard told police the victim had been shot in his "rear end." "I was in my car, about to eat my [inaudible], and all I heard was 'pop, pop, pop," the guard said. The guard stayed on the phone with the dispatcher for over six minutes until police showed up. At one point the guard told the dispatcher that police drove by him again. The guard said he turned on the lights in his security vehicle so police could find it. "He's still breathing, but only a little," the man said. One of them, a woman, called 911 yelling: "Oh my God, can you please come to the Homewood Suites in Edgewater, please, someone just got shot." The dispatcher told him they had received calls about a shooting. The caller can be heard yelling "open the door," "wake up," and "no!," and other inaudible words before the call disconnected. A 911 call made by a resident of The Metropolitan, an apartment complex across the street from City Place, appeared to be among the first. According to the affidavit of probable cause, one of the victims told police that Konate approached the red Dodge Durango that Tjay, Boyd and Valdez were in, pointed a gun at them and demanded they hand over their jewelry.
