The chipped brick and busted stoops of Canarsie still remember the gunfire. June 19th, 2022. A Tuesday afternoon shattered by the brazen ambition of a street war. Joel Myrie, 26, is the man the FBI now wants to talk to about that afternoon, about the bullets that ripped through a crowded Brooklyn street aimed at a single target, and instead found a 28-year-old man fighting for his life. This wasn’t a random act. This was calculated, a cold attempt to erase a rival, committed with a callous disregard for the innocent bystanders who could’ve become casualties. They say he acted with others, a pack of wolves hunting in broad daylight.
Myrie is a ghost in the system, no known aliases, birthplace a blank space in the official reports. But the feds have a picture, and a description. Five foot six to seven, somewhere between 150 and 180 pounds. Brown eyes, dark hair. But it’s the star tattoo on his left shoulder, or possibly his torso, that might jog someone’s memory. A small mark, a flash of ink in a city of millions, but potentially the key to bringing a dangerous man to justice. He’s considered armed and dangerous, an escape risk, and the Bureau isn’t taking any chances. This isn’t a case of misplaced youth; this is a man accused of conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, and assault with a firearm – a triple threat of violence.
The indictment came down in the Eastern District of New York, but Myrie vanished before he could face the music. He’s been on the run for months, blending back into the concrete labyrinth of Brooklyn, the same streets where he allegedly orchestrated the shooting. The FBI believes he’s still operating within the city limits, relying on a network of associates to keep him hidden. But shadows lengthen, and secrets rarely stay buried forever. The streets talk, and someone knows where Joel Myrie is hiding.
This isn’t about street justice; it’s about accountability. A man was injured, a neighborhood terrorized, and a fugitive is enjoying freedom he hasn’t earned. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to Myrie’s arrest and conviction. Ten thousand dollars for a tip that brings a violent offender off the streets.
If you have any information, no matter how small, about the whereabouts of Joel Myrie, don’t wait. Contact the FBI immediately at 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit your tip online at tips.fbi.gov. Silence protects the guilty. Your voice could be the one that finally brings him down.
