On a summer evening in Niagara Falls, New York, a dispute that started inside Wedge Liquors on Pine Avenue moved outside and ended with the fatal shooting of 22-year-old Jason C. Chapman. Chapman was shot in the liquor store parking lot on July 12, 2022, and did not survive his wounds.

Authorities identified 38-year-old Michael Hamilton of Niagara Falls as the suspected shooter. Hamilton was arrested in the days after the killing and charged in connection with Chapman’s death. In November 2023 Hamilton pleaded guilty to Manslaughter in the First Degree in Niagara County Court and admitted to the killing.

If anyone witnessed the argument at Wedge Liquors or the events in the parking lot that night, please share what was seen with investigators.
