Christian Phillip Nolan Rodgers was 26 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting in Vineland, New Jersey, on April 9, 2017. Walking along East Chestnut Avenue that spring afternoon, he was fatally wounded and later found in the backyard of a residence. Rodgers was an aspiring rap artist known to many as Chris Feddi and was a father of two.

Authorities identified 30-year-old Jules Black of Vineland as a suspect and arrested him the day after the shooting. He was charged with first-degree murder and weapons offenses; reports at the time tied a possible motive to a dispute between the men and their respective groups over a music video. Days before the killing, Black had been arrested on serious weapons charges and was released from jail, a fact that led Rodgers’ mother to file a lawsuit challenging the state’s bail decisions. Black was later indicted on multiple charges and pleaded not guilty.

Did anyone in Vineland know Rodgers, Black, or have information about the dispute that preceded the shooting?
