Two Charged with Murder Cited in Kay Flock Trial Presented in SDNY Now 1 Pleads Guilty

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 8  – A week after the drill rapper known as Kay Flock a/k/a Kevin Perez was sentenced to 25 years in prison, on December 23 authorities "announced the unsealing of an Indictment charging AHMAR GARCIA, a/k/a “OB,” and RAHEEM PATTERSON, a/k/a “Rah Rah,” with committing the murder of sixteen-year-old Nisayah Sanchez on September 29, 2021."

   Inner City Press, which covered and published about book about the Kay Flock case,  "Courthouse Rap" (on Amazon here) recognized the murder.

  At the trial, it has been ascribed to cooperating witness Xavier Rosado. How many people had done it?

   When the presentment took place later on December 23, Inner City Press went and live tweeted it, here:

Magistrate Judge: Mr Garcia, you are charged with a shooting resulting in death, racketeering. Mr Patterson, you are charged with murder... RICO gun.

Defense: Not guilty.

Judge: They will remain detained.

AUSA: We will discuss the capital issues.

  Afterward Inner City Press confirmed with one defense counsel that they were brought in because of the potential death penalty. Rosado was sentenced to 18 years, but after cooperation, who knows? Hacker Shakeeb Ahmed was sentenced then released as soon as he testified against Roman Storm.

On September 8, 2026 Garcia pled guilty: "Change of Plea Hearing as to Ahmar Garcia held on 9/8/2026. Defendant sworn, changes plea of not guilty to GUILTY on Counts 2, 6 & 8. See transcript. Plea entered by Ahmar Garcia (1) Guilty as to Count 2,6,8. Sentencing set for 1/21/2027 at 11:00 AM."
