Jan Perez was a 46-year-old Hispanic/Latino man from Rochester whose Mother’s Day weekend ended in violence on May 8, 2022. In the early afternoon, a rush of 911 calls brought police to the 600 block of North Plymouth Avenue, where Perez was found in the street with a gunshot wound to his upper body and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police arrested Justin Singleton, described in early reports as 29, that same night on Lyell Avenue and charged him with second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon. Early statements from investigators linked the killing to street-level trafficking related to the illegal drug trade; other reports suggested the incident may have involved the illegal gun trade, highlighting an overlap of weapons and cash that can turn deadly. Singleton was also reported to be a parolee recently released from prison and therefore prohibited from possessing a firearm.

Does anyone have information about Perez’s movements that afternoon or about the circumstances on North Plymouth Avenue that could help clarify what happened?
