On April 15, 2022, 43-year-old Sharell Brown was shot and killed inside a residence on Phelps Avenue in Rochester, New York. The same incident left another resident severely injured; that survivor escaped to a nearby store and led police back to the house where Brown was found.

Investigators from the Rochester Police Department, the New York State Division of Parole, and the U.S. Marshals Violent Felony Fugitive Task Force identified 39-year-old Jarrelle Williams as the suspect. Williams, who was on parole at the time, cut off his electronic ankle monitor and fled to Alabama. He was located and arrested in Alabama on May 9, 2022, and extradited to New York to face charges in connection with Brown’s killing.

A Monroe County jury found Jarrelle Williams guilty on February 6, 2023, of two counts of Murder in the 2nd Degree, Attempted Murder in the 2nd Degree, two counts of Robbery in the 1st Degree, and two counts of Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the 2nd Degree. Does anyone have information about Brown’s life in Rochester or the people who might have known him?
