DJ Carl Blaze Shot On Thursday, In Critical Condition
Vibe reached out to Power 105.1's PR Director, Josefa Paganuzzi, who said all that is clear is that he is in critical condition at New York's Harlem Hospital after being shot when leaving an event not connected to the radio station. She also said an official statement would not be released until the family consents to it.
Spanish Radio station La Mega 97.9 reported that Blaze was shot at 15 times after leaving club X-Bar, where he DJ's at weekly.
A saddened New York DJ told Vibe.com that he had recently received a call from a New York artist (both whom chose to remain anonymous) who was at Blaze's bedside, and said doctor's hadn't removed the bullets from his body as of Thursday morning, but that their prognosis is "he might not make it past another day or two."
Blaze, 30, who was known for dj'ing in some of the most prominent New York City clubs, including Wednesday nights at X-Bar, was raised in Washington Heights by Dominican-born parents.
More to come on this developing story.

Josey, Vigi and Fifa I feel your lost. My brother and I saw carlito growing up and we are very saddened for what has happened. I know there are no words that will comfort you during this difficult time. Pray, Pray and Pray for strength is what I can say. We lost my mother one year ago ( Maria) from 192 st. And it has been the most diffult year ever. The constant prayers is what keeps us going. Carlito and Family will be in our prayers. R.I.P. Carl Blaze

I will never forget how back in the days I would carry milk crates of records,adapter wires,flyers to local bars,lounges,clubs with Al aka Sensi Massive and Dj Carl..(yeah, he was only Dj Carl b4 Willy Wide and Butter from 191 street would tease him at the studio on 189 street to "blaze, blaze" but he never did "blaze" so he would goof them back by only "blazin" the turntables-
(i will always remember how he would lick the tip of his middle finger as if the records spinning were blazin hott. when he did this i already knew by watching him he had a good flow with the music)
you were a good person-4 sure.
you will be missed for life buddy.
May your soul be at peace.
LOVE.

its amazing and so unreal how this life came to such an ubrupt end. so much of the future to look forward to, a family and a great lifestyle that anyone would trade you with. i know i would have !!
we like to believe that you are now in a much better place without pain. However, down here we are with pain and disbelief as to all of this. Carlos, you always said, "I'm blessed" and believe me even after your departure from this earth, you continue to be blessed. I have kept you in my thoughts and prayers for 3 weeks and I guess God needed you more than we did down here. All I know is that when it's my turn to go.. put me on your guest list homie and keep me rockin'to your music in Heaven !!
we love you and miss you dude....

As u fought for u life God saw u were getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around u, and whispered come 2 me, with tearful eyes we watched you and saw u pass away. Altthough we love u dearly, we could not make u stay. A golden heart stop beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke ouur hearts to prove us, he only takes the best. RIP Carl Blaze, strength and time will heal the broken hearts.

I send my sincere condolences to the family and friends of DJ Carl Blaze. I lost a friend to a sensless shooting when I was a senior in high school, 13 years ago and it still hurts. As the years goes by it does get a little easier. I know how it feels to lose a loved one. My love goes out to his children. Much Love and the upmost respect. Jody, New Jersey

We place our sick under your care and humbly ask that you restore your servant to health again. Above all, grant us the grace to acknowledge your will and know that whatever you do, you do for the love of us. Amen.
