On the late evening of Friday, June 24, 2022, officers in Rochester, New York, were called to an apartment at 210 Dewey Avenue for a report of a man who was unresponsive. They forced entry and found 37-year-old Eddie Blanding inside with a fatal gunshot wound to his upper body. He was pronounced dead at the scene and was not a resident of that apartment.

The Rochester Police Department opened a homicide investigation. In the days after the discovery the inquiry was still in its early stages and no arrests had been announced; the events leading to the shooting and the identity of anyone responsible remained unknown.

If anyone has information about Blanding, his movements that night, or the Dewey Avenue apartment, please come forward to investigators.
