Jeremiah Baker was a 17-year-old Black male shot and killed on the evening of June 12, 2022, in Rochester, New York. He was outside near the intersection of William Warfield Drive and Robert Warfield Court in the Harriet Tubman Estates apartment complex when gunfire broke out. Baker was on his bicycle near a basketball hoop where several children were playing; officers found him critically wounded, emergency personnel transported him to Strong Memorial Hospital, and he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

From early in the investigation detectives said the circumstances pointed to Baker being deliberately targeted rather than hit by random gunfire. Neighbors who rushed to help, including a visitor who performed CPR, described the killing as especially painful because Baker was a familiar presence in the apartment community. The Rochester City School District confirmed he was a student and expressed grief.

The case remained unsolved through multiple public appeals. Police released images of persons of interest in September 2023 and again in May 2026 showing two people they wanted identified; no arrest or criminal charges had been announced and authorities maintained Baker appeared to have been the intended target. If anyone knew Baker, was present that evening, or has information about the two people shown by police, please come forward.
