On the night of November 12, 2022, Terry J. Howard Jr., a 27-year-old Black man, was fatally shot in Rochester, New York, in what authorities described as a targeted ambush killing. Howard was sitting in the front passenger seat of a vehicle that had just pulled into a Norton Street driveway when multiple bullets struck him shortly before 10:30 p.m. His wife and two children, ages 7 and 8, were also in the vehicle and were not physically harmed. The driver took Howard to Rochester General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead soon after arrival.

Rochester police identified and arrested two suspects, Jerrod Dozier and Jessica Maynard, within two days of the shooting after a vehicle pursuit involving a stolen car that led to additional charges. Investigators concluded the suspects had surveilled Howard before the ambush and charged both with second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the killing. If anyone knew Terry Howard Jr., his movements that night, or has information about the surveillance that preceded the attack, please come forward.
