Hykiem Coney
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hykiem Coney,24, was an anti-gang activist with Help End Violence Now Coalition (HEVN), located in Nassau County, NY.
Coney was the founder of the "Outlaws," a gang affiliated with The Bloods. He was sent to prison for gang related activity, and upon his release was prepared to avenge the murder of his friend. He found God however, and renounced the gangster lifestyle.
Coney was shot fatally on October 21 by Tyrel Cason outside of Image Bar and Lounge, located on Hempstead Turnpike.
Bishop J. Raymond Mackey of the Tabernacle of Joy Church was described by Coney to be a father figure. Mackey was the one who turned Coney's life around and helped him get a job with HEVN.
Coney also became a minister-in-training.
Tyrel Cason was convicted of second-degree manslaughter and on weapons charges on March 26, 2007. The jury did not choose to convict Cason of second-degree murder.
