Melrose Avenue is not new to seeing this type of violence for shoes, as 26-year-old Jayren Bradford was shot and killed in August 2021 at Shoe Palace.
Bradford attempted to break up an argument over a sneaker raffle, and the group shifted their anger toward him. He was then surrounded by the group and was shot. A 16-year-old was later arrested in connection to the shooting.
