POPULAR JERSEY SNEAKER RESELLER SHOT TO DEATH IN SOHO

Javier Osorio-Mejia, a 31-year-old Dominican and graduate of William Paterson University, as well as a popular high-end sneaker reseller from Bayonne, was shot dead in SoHo. Police say someone followed him from a club and attempted to rob him.

Javier, known as Upscale Cracc, an established high-end sneaker reseller, had been with a woman at a Queens club early Tuesday.

Police believe they were followed when they left and were attacked on Greene Street in SoHo around 5:15 a.m. Authorities initially stated Osorio-Mejia was attacked by a group. It's unclear how many individuals they are searching for in connection with the case.

Javier was shot three times in the right leg. He was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he later died. The assailant fled in a black SUV with an unknown license plate. It's unclear if anything was stolen. The victim had been driving a Range Rover.

No arrests have been made, and the NYPD homicide investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
