The Case File
Tahjae Brooks, better known as Jae100, was not just another name placed into a long gang indictment. He was one of the original faces connected to YBC, one of the young rappers people around the group believed had enough talent to turn local attention into something bigger than the blocks around him. Before the police timeline, before the homicide charge, before his name became part of a citywide violence map, Jae100 represented the early version of YBC, when the group still looked like music, friendship, money dreams, and young men trying to build a name before the violence fully took over the story.
The public case now places his murder inside a much larger investigation involving Young Bag Chasers, also known as YBC, Campers Campers Klapperz, also known as CCK, and Parkside Killers, also known as PSK. Prosecutors say the wider shooting spree stretched from September 21, 2022, through May 18, 2024, and included multiple homicides, nonfatal shootings, and shootings where no one was struck. The case is not only about one killing. It is about how one murder became part of a bigger pattern of retaliation, social media disrespect, repeated locations, reused firearms, and a violent digital trail that investigators say helped bring the case together.
This file uses the phrase Old World as the wider street and online ecosystem around the Jae100 murder, not as an officially charged group name. Public records reviewed for this case identify YBC, CCK, and PSK as the named street groups tied to the indictment. Unless future paperwork confirms Old World as a formal charged organization, it should be treated as a street level or viewer facing label for the world surrounding the case, not as a separate official gang named by prosecutors.
Source Integrity Note
The confirmed foundation of this file comes from official police homicide information, the Philadelphia District Attorney announcement, and public reporting on the YBC, CCK, and PSK indictment. The Reddit screenshots and online comments are useful for understanding street discussion, fan theories, arguments over retaliation, and how people online interpret the case, but they are not treated as proven facts. Any claim from Reddit that is not backed by police, prosecutors, court records, or reliable reporting is labeled as online discussion or street speculation.
All charges mentioned in this file are allegations unless a person has been convicted in court. The Philadelphia Police homicide page now lists Tahjae Brooks’ case as solved and notes that three individuals were arrested on March 12, 2026, with case outcomes pending trial. That distinction matters because the public can now see who prosecutors accuse, but the full courtroom process still determines legal guilt.
Who Jae100 Was Before The Indictment
Jae100’s story begins before the murder timeline. He was known in the West Philadelphia drill scene as one of the early YBC names, a rapper whose identity was tied to the group before the larger public knew YBC mainly through homicide cases and indictments. Public reporting described him as a founding YBC rapper and one of the people close to the group viewed as having real music potential. That detail changes the weight of the case because Brooks was not a background figure who was added to the story after death. He was part of the original image of what YBC was supposed to become.
YBC itself started as a young group built around money language, rap dreams, and neighborhood bonds. The name Young Bag Chasers carried the idea of chasing money, visibility, and movement beyond the same streets. For a time, that image could still be framed around music. The deeper the violence became, the harder it was to separate the songs from the real life grief, threats, and losses attached to them. By the time Brooks was killed, the music and the conflict were already feeding the same machine.
That is why Jae100’s murder became bigger than the death of one rapper. His killing struck at the origin story of YBC. It removed one of the people tied to the group’s early identity, then became a central piece of the later indictment narrative. In the public reporting, he is not just remembered as a victim. He is remembered as a symbol of the version of YBC that existed before the group became tied to years of shootings, court cases, and retaliation claims.
The Murder Report
Philadelphia Police identify the victim as Tahjae Brooks, a 21 year old Black male who lived on North 40th Street in Philadelphia. The police case page lists the date as December 5, 2022, under District Control number 22 16 040185. At approximately 9:20 p.m., officers responded to the 4300 block of Parrish Street and found Brooks lying in the street suffering from several gunshot wounds. He was transported to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where he was pronounced deceased.
The location is important. The 4300 block of Parrish Street sits in West Philadelphia, inside the broader geography that appears again and again across this indictment. Parrish Street was not just an isolated point on a map. In the wider case, it becomes one of the early homicide locations that investigators later placed beside shootings on North 75th Street, North 13th Street, Wallace Street, Aspen Street, Reno Street, Preston Street, Jefferson Street, Manton Street, Clearfield Street, Girard Avenue, Lancaster Avenue, and Baltimore Avenue.
There is one public date issue that needs to be handled carefully. The official police case page and the indictment timeline list Brooks’ homicide as December 5, 2022. One feature story described the moment as the night of December 6, 2022. For this case file, the safest confirmed date is December 5, 2022, because that is the date used by the police case page and the indictment timeline.
The Last Known Public Context
Public reporting added a key detail about what Brooks was doing before the shooting. He had reportedly been shooting a music video at a friend’s house on the 4300 block of Parrish Street. As he waited outside for an Uber, he was shot and killed. That detail is one of the most important pieces of the Jae100 file because it ties the murder directly back to the same music world that made him known.
The public record does not provide a complete minute by minute account of the shooting. It does not release every surveillance angle, every statement, every phone record, or every movement investigators believe happened before and after the gunfire. What is confirmed is that Brooks was found wounded in the street, taken to Penn Presbyterian, and later pronounced dead. What prosecutors later alleged is that CCK affiliates were responsible for his murder.
That gap between what the public knows and what investigators may have is what gives this case its investigative tension. The police page gives the homicide facts. The indictment timeline gives the charged names. The larger reporting gives the music video context. The missing pieces remain inside court files, grand jury evidence, surveillance recovery, ballistic work, and digital records not fully released to the public.
The Charged Suspects In The Jae100 Murder
Public reporting identifies Ronnie Vincent Quan, Herman “Cherm” Stigall, and Anthony Lacey Woodson, also known as “Pistol P,” as CCK affiliates charged in connection with the killing of Tahjae Brooks. Their names are the official bridge between the Jae100 homicide and the broader CCK side of the indictment. Online posts may use other aliases or spellings, but the safest version for a premium case file is the one tied to public reporting and the official charge structure.
Anthony Lacey Woodson’s presence in the file stands out because public reporting says he was already serving 45 to 90 years for three murders at the time he was charged in connection with Brooks’ killing. That detail changes how the case reads. It shows this was not a quick arrest made immediately after the shooting. It was a delayed charging decision that came after investigators spent years building a wider case around old shootings, homicide scenes, and digital evidence.
The official police case page says three people were arrested on March 12, 2026, and that case outcomes were pending trial. That means the murder is now publicly marked as solved, but the final courtroom outcome still matters. The charges identify who prosecutors believe was responsible. The trial process is what determines whether those allegations become convictions.
The Groups Named In The Indictment
The indictment publicly names three main street groups: YBC, CCK, and PSK. Prosecutors say nine defendants were connected to YBC, six were associated with CCK, and two were connected to PSK. The remaining associated individuals were charged based on alleged involvement in specific crimes tied to the larger investigation.
The named defendants in the District Attorney’s announcement include Mark Johnson, Kasim Brown, Salahuddin Carter, Jymir Burbage, Jerwayne Haywood, Anthony Woodson, Ronnie Vincent Quan, Herman Stigall, Markees Muhammad, Quamere Hall, Stephen Weddington, Hassan Stafford, Hamzah Curry, Paul Beckwith, Nasir Wells, Hasin Muse, and Tatiana Edwards. Prosecutors also said two other individuals were not named publicly at the time because of ongoing investigations.
The charge categories show the scale of the case. Anthony Woodson, Ronnie Vincent Quan, Herman Stigall, Markees Muhammad, Stephen Weddington, Jymir Burbage, Hasin Muse, and Hamzah Curry were listed under murder and related charges. Mark Johnson and Kasim Brown were listed under attempted murder and related charges. Salahuddin Carter, Jerwayne Haywood, Quamere Hall, Hassan Stafford, Paul Beckwith, and Nasir Wells were listed under aggravated assault and related charges. Tatiana Edwards was listed under criminal conspiracy to murder and related charges.
The Bigger Indictment Picture
The District Attorney’s Office said the shooting spree ran from September 21, 2022, through May 18, 2024. Prosecutors described a two year pattern of shootings involving rival groups and repeated violence across different parts of Philadelphia. The announcement said the violence resulted in five homicides and 35 total shooting victims, while the grand jury language tied the defendants to shooting homicides, nonfatal shootings, and 11 other shooting incidents.
That distinction matters because not every incident in the timeline is the same kind of case. Some incidents were homicides. Some were nonfatal shootings where people were struck and survived. Some were shootings where no one was hit. Online arguments often collapse all of those into one scoreboard, but the official file separates them by evidence, victim outcome, and charges.
Jae100’s murder sits near the beginning of that timeline. Before his killing, the public timeline already includes shots fired on North 75th Street, a double nonfatal shooting on North 13th Street, shots fired on Wallace Street, a triple shooting on Aspen Street, and shots fired on Reno Street. Then, on December 5, 2022, Brooks was killed on Parrish Street. After that, the timeline continued into 2023 and 2024 with additional homicides, nonfatal shootings, and repeated shots fired incidents.
The Incident Timeline Before Jae100
The indictment timeline begins on September 21, 2022, when shots were fired at 1400 North 75th Street and no one was struck. Prosecutors charged YBC members Mark “Yak Yola” Johnson and Kasim Brown, also known as “FSdaBender,” in connection with that incident. The next day, September 22, an 8 year old girl and a 20 year old man were shot at 1500 North 13th Street. Prosecutors charged Salahuddin Carter, also known as “YFA4our,” and Jymir “Lil Mir” Burbage.
On October 7, 2022, shots were fired at 3900 Wallace Street, and no one was struck. Carter and Burbage were again the charged YBC names in that incident. On October 29, 2022, three people were shot at 3800 Aspen Street, with Burbage and Jerwayne Haywood charged. On November 30, 2022, shots were fired at 4300 Reno Street, with Burbage charged and no one reported struck.
That is the official violence pattern leading directly into the Jae100 homicide. Before Brooks was killed, the timeline already showed multiple YBC linked incidents, including shootings with no one hit and shootings where multiple people were struck. Then the file shifts. On December 5, the victim is not a person accused of shooting in the timeline. The victim is Jae100, one of YBC’s founding rapper figures, and the charged suspects come from the CCK side.
The Jae100 Homicide As A Turning Point
The December 5, 2022 Parrish Street homicide is the emotional center of this file because it changes the case from a list of shooting incidents into a story about YBC losing one of its earliest faces. Prosecutors later charged CCK affiliates Ronnie Vincent Quan, Herman Stigall, and Anthony Lacey Woodson in connection with the killing. In the structure of the indictment, that places CCK directly into the death of a founding YBC rapper.
The public reporting does not spell out every alleged motive for why Brooks was targeted. It does not release every piece of evidence that prosecutors believe ties the charged suspects to Parrish Street. What it does establish is the official link: Brooks was killed, the case later became solved, and CCK affiliated names were charged. That is enough to make the Jae100 murder one of the strongest official anchors in the larger YBC and CCK story.
This is also where the street discussion becomes loudest. Online users argue over whether his death sparked retaliation, whether later shootings were connected, whether YBC ever “got back,” and whether some people are forcing a clean revenge story onto a timeline that is more complicated. Those arguments make the case interesting, but they do not override the official record. The case file has to keep the murder facts separate from the scoreboard debate.
The Timeline After Jae100
After Brooks was killed, the public timeline moved into 2023 with more homicides and shootings. On May 16, 2023, Kameir “T.O.” Scott was killed at 600 North Preston Street. Prosecutors charged Markees Muhammad of the Parkside Killers in that killing. This incident matters because it brings PSK into the homicide structure of the case and shows that the indictment was not only a YBC versus CCK file.
On May 27, 2023, three people were shot at 5200 Jefferson Street, with Kasim Brown and Quamere Hall charged. Just three days later, on May 30, shots were fired again at 5200 Jefferson Street, with Burbage and Brown charged. Then on July 8, 2023, Sharif King was killed at 5200 Jefferson Street, with Stephen Weddington, Quamere Hall, and Mark Johnson charged. Jefferson Street becomes one of the most important repeated locations in the public timeline because it appears across multiple incidents in a short period.
On July 27, 2023, shots were fired at 100 Manton Street and no one was struck. CCK member Hasaan Stafford, also known as “Saany Goon,” was charged, and public reporting says Kydair “Honcho” Strickland, a CCK and 7th Street member who was later killed in August 2024, was also involved according to prosecutors. This incident becomes important in the Reddit discussion because users argue over whether a case with no one struck should be treated the same way as a nonfatal shooting where a victim was actually hit.
The Late 2023 And 2024 Pattern
On October 5, 2023, a 20 year old man was shot at 5200 Jefferson Street, with YBC members Stephen Weddington and Mark Johnson charged. On October 6, 2023, a 20 year old man was shot at 600 North Brooklyn Street, with Parkside members Markees Muhammad and Paul Beckwith charged. On October 10, shots were fired at 2100 North 53rd Street, with Weddington charged and prosecutors also alleging CCK affiliate Strickland fired shots.
On November 4, 2023, shots were fired at 1300 North 53rd Street, with Hasaan Stafford charged. On December 7, 2023, Zyir “Booga” Stafford was killed while leaving work at McDonald’s at 29th and Clearfield Streets. Prosecutors charged Stephen Weddington and Jymir Burbage in that killing. According to the District Attorney’s Office, YBC mocked the victim and the victim’s workplace after the homicide, which shows why prosecutors focused not only on gun evidence but also on the online behavior around the violence.
The timeline continued with shots fired at 1400 South 56th Street on December 11, 2023, shots fired at 2900 Girard Avenue on December 15, 2023, shots fired at 1000 Arch Street on January 22, 2024, and shots fired at 4300 Lancaster Avenue on March 13, 2024. On May 18, 2024, Qaadir Cheeks, also known as “55Qua,” was killed at 5500 Baltimore Avenue. Prosecutors charged Weddington, Burbage, Hamzah Curry, and Hasin Muse with murder, while Tatiana Edwards was charged with criminal conspiracy to murder after officials alleged she lured Cheeks outside.
The Location Map Breakdown
The case map matters because the incidents are not locked to one block. Parrish Street is the Jae100 murder location. North Preston Street becomes the location of Kameir Scott’s homicide. Jefferson Street becomes one of the most repeated areas in the timeline, appearing in the May 27 triple shooting, the May 30 shots fired incident, the July 8 Sharif King homicide, and the October 5 nonfatal shooting. Clearfield Street becomes the location of the Zyir Stafford homicide. Baltimore Avenue becomes the location of the Qaadir Cheeks homicide.
The spread of locations shows why investigators framed this as a larger pattern rather than one neighborhood case. The map touches West P
hiladelphia, South Philadelphia, Southwest Philadelphia, and other parts of the city connected through people, groups, cars, guns, online posts, and repeated retaliatory narratives. It is not just the number of shootings that matters. It is the fact that the same names, same group labels, and same types of evidence keep appearing across different blocks and different dates.
For a reader, the map also makes the indictment easier to understand. Parrish Street is the emotional anchor because of Jae100. Jefferson Street is the repeated pressure point because it appears across several violent incidents. Preston Street and Baltimore Avenue show the homicide count extending beyond YBC versus CCK into PSK and associated individuals. Clearfield Street becomes important because prosecutors specifically pointed to mocking after that killing, turning the online aftermath into part of the case narrative.
The Evidence Matrix
The official evidence pattern rests on three major lanes: ballistics, surveillance, and digital footprints. The District Attorney’s Office said ballistic evidence was recovered from various crime scenes and analyzed. Investigators compared fired cartridge casings to determine whether casings from separate scenes were fired from the same firearm and what specific firearm was involved. That means prosecutors were not only relying on names, songs, or comments. They were tying scenes together through gun evidence.
The second lane is surveillance. Officials said surveillance video was recovered from businesses, residential properties, city cameras, and police vehicles equipped with video recording equipment. That matters because the case covers many locations over a long period. Surveillance gives investigators a way to connect movement, vehicles, suspects, and incidents across time, especially when shootings happen in public or near businesses and homes.
The third lane is digital evidence. Public reporting says investigators credited ballistic evidence and digital footprints with solving the cases. Officials did not publicly reveal every digital method, but they warned that electronic devices connected to the internet can create trails investigators are now skilled at reading. In a case built around drill music, social media posts, online mocking, and public scoreboard arguments, the digital layer becomes just as important as the physical crime scenes.
The Reddit And Street Discussion File
The Reddit discussion around Jae100 is intense because people online treat his murder as part of a wider YBC and CCK score debate. One screenshot shows a post claiming YBC never got back for Jae100, with the attached image arguing that another death happened before Jae100’s murder and therefore could not be counted as retaliation. This matters because it shows how online communities often rearrange deaths into revenge timelines, even when the official record does not confirm that clean sequence.
Other screenshots show users debating whether CCK was getting hit harder, whether YBC was in a worse position, and whether certain cases involved people actually being struck or only shots fired with no injuries. That argument appears repeatedly because the official indictment includes different categories of violence. A nonfatal shooting means someone was shot and survived. A shots fired incident with no one struck is still serious, but it is not the same thing as a wounded victim. Reddit users in the screenshots argue over that difference because it changes how people online score the conflict.
The Reddit material also shows users pointing each other back toward deeper reporting, especially the Inquirer coverage. One commenter says people need to read the Inquirer because it goes more in depth, and another screenshot includes a small article excerpt about Hasaan Stafford and Kasim Brown. That detail is useful because it shows even the street discussion is not only rumor. Some users are actively comparing Reddit claims to public reporting, court coverage, and news breakdowns.
What Reddit Gets Right And What It Cannot Prove
Reddit gets the temperature of the case. It shows what people were arguing about, who the streets were focused on, which deaths were being compared, and which names carried weight in the online conversation. It also shows confusion, disagreement, and ego. People argue over whether one side was winning, whether certain people were really involved, whether a person missed on purpose, whether a shooting counted, and whether some alleged retaliation claims were fake.
What Reddit cannot do by itself is prove who killed Jae100. The confirmed public charging link comes from prosecutors and reporting, not comment sections. Reddit may identify aliases, street names, or relationships before official articles explain them, but those claims must remain in the rumor lane unless they match public documents. In this file, the official Jae100 murder suspects are Ronnie Vincent Quan, Herman Stigall, and Anthony Lacey Woodson because those are the names tied to public reporting and the charged case.
The strongest use of Reddit here is not to replace the evidence. It is to show how the case lived online before and after the indictment. The comments reveal that people were watching the same timeline, counting bodies, questioning the official categories, and debating what each shooting meant. That online reaction is part of the story because prosecutors themselves have emphasized social media, mocking, and digital footprints as part of how this violence was understood and investigated.
Official Facts Versus Street Claims
The official facts are clear on the foundation. Tahjae Brooks was killed on December 5, 2022, on the 4300 block of Parrish Street. Police found him lying in the street with several gunshot wounds and transported him to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where he was pronounced deceased. The case is now marked solved, and three individuals were arrested in March 2026, with court outcomes pending.
The official charging narrative says CCK affiliated Ronnie Vincent Quan, Herman Stigall, and Anthony Lacey Woodson were charged in connection with Brooks’ murder. The broader indictment names YBC, CCK, and PSK as the street groups tied to a larger pattern of shootings and homicides. Prosecutors say ballistics, surveillance, and digital evidence helped connect incidents that happened across multiple neighborhoods over a two year period.
The street claims are more unstable. Reddit users debate whether Jae100 was avenged, whether certain shootings were connected, whether some deaths were counted incorrectly, and whether some defendants were more important than the official articles suggest. Those discussions make the case more layered, but they cannot be written as proven motive. The clean premium case file position is this: Jae100’s murder is officially tied to CCK affiliates through charges, while the broader online retaliation narrative remains debated and partly unverified.
The Motive Problem
The public record does not give a simple confirmed motive for Jae100’s murder. It places him inside a broader retaliatory conflict, identifies him as a founding YBC rapper, and names CCK affiliates as charged suspects, but it does not publicly release every detail of why he was targeted that night. That missing motive detail is important because online discussions often try to fill the gap with theories.
The safer interpretation is that Brooks’ death occurred inside a larger YBC, CCK, and PSK conflict where shootings, disses, old losses, and social media disrespect were already feeding one another. That does not mean every Reddit claim about retaliation is true. It means the murder fits inside the official pattern prosecutors described: rival groups trading gunfire, leaving behind ballistic links, appearing in surveillance, and creating digital evidence around the violence.
A premium case file should not force a cleaner motive than the evidence supports. The case is strong enough without exaggeration. A founding YBC rapper was killed outside after a music video shoot. CCK affiliated men were later charged. His death became one of the central murders in a massive indictment. Those facts alone are enough to carry the file.
The Unanswered Questions
The public still does not have the full surveillance record from Parrish Street. We do not know every camera investigators recovered, every angle that may have captured movement before or after the shooting, or whether any footage directly shows the shooters. The District Attorney’s Office confirmed surveillance was recovered across the larger case, but the full evidence tied specifically to Jae100’s murder has not been released in detail to the public.
The public also does not have the full digital footprint. Investigators have made clear that digital evidence helped solve these cases, but they did not reveal every phone record, location data point, message, social media post, or internet connected trail used to build the case. That keeps the Jae100 murder partly sealed behind the grand jury process and the pending court case.
The other unanswered question is how many people around the case were involved but not publicly named. The District Attorney’s Office said two other individuals were not being named at the time because of ongoing investigations. That means the public version of the case may not include every person investigators looked at, every person who cooperated, or every lead that stayed under seal.
Final Breakdown
The official file says Tahjae Brooks was killed on December 5, 2022, on the 4300 block of Parrish Street. He was found wounded in the street, taken to Penn Presbyterian, and pronounced dead. Public reporting says he had been shooting a music video and was waiting outside for an Uber when he was killed. The case is now listed as solved, and CCK affiliated Ronnie Vincent Quan, Herman Stigall, and Anthony Lacey Woodson have been charged in connection with his murder.
The broader indictment says YBC, CCK, PSK, and associated individuals were tied to a violent two year pattern involving homicides, nonfatal shootings, and shots fired incidents across Philadelphia. Prosecutors point to ballistic evidence, surveillance footage, and digital footprints as key parts of the investigation. The same public timeline that records Jae100’s murder also records repeated shootings on Jefferson Street, homicides on Preston Street, Clearfield Street, and Baltimore Avenue, and incidents involving the same group names over and over again.
The street version of the case is louder, messier, and less certain. Reddit users argue over whether YBC got back for Jae100, whether certain deaths counted as retaliation, whether some defendants were being overrated or underrated, and whether the indictment proved what the streets had been saying for years. Some of that discussion lines up with official names. Some of it remains pure online speculation.
The strongest reading of the case is the one supported by both structure and restraint. Jae100 was a founding YBC rapper whose murder became one of the central pieces of a larger Philadelphia gang indictment. His death was not just a loss inside the music scene. It became a window into how grief, fame, social media, retaliation, and street politics turned a local rap movement into a long running homicide investigation.
