William Keith Booker was 50 when he died after a traffic crash that turned into a fatal shooting on Jefferson Avenue during the early hours of Sunday, September 25, 2022. A retired Rochester police officer who served 21 years, Booker had been a school resource officer at the Franklin campus for nearly a decade and later stayed home to care for his young daughter.

Rochester’s Major Crimes Unit investigated, treating the shooting as connected to the car crash. Police arrested 64-year-old Calvin Watkins on charges of criminal possession of a weapon and grand larceny, but authorities said he was not a suspect in Booker’s murder and accused him of taking items from Booker’s vehicle and from Booker as he lay dying. Investigators released photos of a man they believe is connected to the killing and offered a cash reward for information; no arrest in the homicide has been announced.

Can anyone who was on or near Jefferson Avenue that night or who recognizes the person in the released images please come forward with information?
