The NYPD is currently searching for two individuals who were involved in the shooting death of 50-year-old filmmaker Joseph “Taheim” Bryant last Thursday and have released the surveillance footage of the killing.
Bryant, a film producer and director whose police brutality film Equal Standard starring Ice-T received rave reviews, was shot in his car outside of a luxury apartment complex in Queens. The surveillance footage shows the gunman talking on a cell phone in a parking garage before going across the street and opening fire on Bryant, killing him.
Actor and Hip Hop pioneer Ice-T took to Twitter to post about Bryant’s death, saying, “MFs Killed my friend last night.
