Kailee White Sr., a 42-year-old Black man from Rochester, New York, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of July 30, 2022. Officers found him unconscious inside his vehicle on Jay Street around 7:10 a.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound to his upper body. His death was recorded as the city’s 45th homicide of the year.

Police say the killing occurred during an attempted robbery. Investigators reported that White was not known to his attackers and did not resist. Authorities allege three people were involved: an 18-year-old who lured White to stop his vehicle, and two others, aged 18 and 19, who approached the car. It is alleged that the 19-year-old fired the fatal shot to White’s head.

Does anyone have information about White’s movements on Jay Street that morning or saw the vehicle before 7:10 a.m.?
