051 Melly Shot Multiple Times At A Party: The Nate Paperwork, The Recovered Gun, And The Redacted Murder File

Reporting and analysis may discuss allegations and online theories. Allegations are not findings of guilt. Verify important details in the cited public record.

THE CASE FILE PREVIEW

This is not just a short write-up about 051 Melly’s death. In the full case file, we break down the entire St. Lawrence party shooting from the official murder report, the witness statements, the surveillance timeline, the recovered weapons, the shell casing locations, the hospital detail, and the Reddit theories that have kept this case alive for years.

Melly was shot multiple times inside a crowded apartment party at 6107 S. St. Lawrence Avenue. The report says people were inside the apartment, music was playing, witnesses heard different bursts of gunfire, another woman was wounded, and detectives later had to piece together what happened from statements, surveillance, 911 calls, evidence recovery, and heavily redacted paperwork.

WE MAPPED OUT THE WHOLE SCENE

Inside the full case file, we do not just tell the story. We map it out.

We break down the building layout, the front and rear entrances, the back porch area, the first floor apartment, the reported shooting location, the northwest window area where evidence was recovered, and the outside location where 11 nine millimeter shell casings were documented under a separate RD number.

The full file also includes crime scene diagrams, an inside apartment map, a witness perspective board, and a shot-sequence breakdown showing why so many people heard the shooting, but the case still became legally complicated.

THE NATE PAPERWORK

The report names Nathaniel Hicks, known as Nate, as the suspect. It also ties him to a Ruger Security-9 handgun and lays out surveillance details showing him at the building before the shooting, seen with a gun earlier that night, entering through the rear before the gunfire, and running out after the shooting.

That is one of the biggest reasons this case still gets argued about online. The paperwork appears to point in one direction, but the outcome did not give people the clean ending they expected. The case was marked exceptionally cleared, leaving people to question what prosecutors had, what witnesses refused to say, and why the murder charge never became the simple conclusion the streets believed it should have been.

THE WITNESS CONFUSION

The witness statements make the case even deeper. One person described hearing 7 to 8 shots, then another 7 to 8 shots after a pause. Another described at least 10 shots, then about 5 more. Other callers heard gunfire but said they did not see anything. Some people ran. Some refused information. Some were facing the wrong way. Others were outside, hearing shots that sounded like they came from different directions.

That is why the full breakdown matters. The case had witnesses everywhere, but the statements did not create a clean courtroom story. The full file walks through the confusion, the contradictions, and the exact details that made the investigation more complicated than people think.

THE EVIDENCE BOARD

The full case file also breaks down the recovered weapon evidence, including the Ruger Security-9 listed in the report, the serial number, the additional Glock .380 recovered in the building, the fired cartridge case found outside beneath the northwest window area, and the 11 nine millimeter shell casings recovered near 6127 S. St. Lawrence.

This is where the case starts feeling less like a rumor and more like a full investigative file. The evidence, the layout, the gun details, and the witness accounts all connect back to one chaotic night inside a packed apartment.

THE REDDIT THEORIES

The official report tells one side. Reddit tells another.

Online, people have argued over Nate, Jaro City, Taquan World, Mellyway, money issues, dice game rumors, Lil Darrell theories, and the strange hospital detail where two men allegedly showed up before Melly arrived claiming injuries that staff did not clearly see.

Some of those theories line up with pieces of the paperwork. Some remain street speculation. The full case file separates what the report actually proves from what Reddit and the streets have been saying for years.
