Thursday, June 27, 2024 - A popular sneaker store owner and dad of one has been shot and killed in a robbery attempt in SoHo.
Javier Osorio Mejia, 31, was shot in the right thigh on
Greene Street near Broome Street just outside the men’s luxury fashion store
Stone Island around 5:15 a.m., police sources and the victim’s friends said.
He was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was
pronounced dead, authorities said.
Investigators believe he could have been the victim of a
mugging gone bad, according to police sources.
The suspects fled in a black car, according to our NBC New
York source.
No arrests have been made. An NYPD homicide investigation is
now underway as police try to understand exactly what happened early Tuesday
morning.
Several tributes were posted to social media remembering
Upscale Cracc.
Complex Sneakers posted, "Rest in peace to Upscale
Cracc, born Javier Osorio-Mejia, a reseller who was a mainstay at sneaker
releases in New York City for years. If there was a lineup happening, Cracc was
there."
