Shafi Mutombo, a 30-year-old Black / African American man, was shot and killed in Rochester, New York, on March 8, 2022. Shortly after midnight he was driving a co-worker home after their shift when an apparent altercation occurred on Peckham Street near Hudson Avenue. Rochester Police responded about 12:20 a.m. for a man not conscious or breathing and found Mutombo with a gunshot wound to his upper body; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The co-worker in the vehicle was not injured.

Investigators have said the shooting may have followed a suspected attempted carjacking or robbery. The Major Crimes Unit opened an intensive investigation and appealed for public help.

Did anyone in the Rochester area see or hear anything that predawn on March 8, 2022, that could help investigators?
