The FBI is offering up to a $10,000 reward for information leading to Joel Myrie’s arrest and conviction. Myrie, commonly known as “Pookie,” is wanted for allegedly participating in a drive-by shooting on June 19, 2022, in the Canarsie neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Myrie—a member of the No Love City (NLC), a Brooklyn-based offshoot of the deadly Gangster Disciples (GD) street gang—and others are accused of attempting to murder a rival gang member by firing two firearms into a packed neighborhood street. The attempted murder resulted in the shooting and injury of a 28-year-old victim.
Myrie was indicted in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, Brooklyn, New York, on charges of conspiracy to murder and attempted murder in aid of racketeering, assault in aid of racketeering, and possessing, using, brandishing, and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence, and a federal warrant for his arrest was issued on August 29, 2024.
On September 10, 2024, authorities spotted Myrie donning a frock and a long-haired wig as a means of evading imprisonment. It is unclear whether Myrie has retained his new appearance.
If you have any information about Myrie, please contact your local FBI office or call 1-800-CALL-FBI (800-225-5324). You can submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.
