On January 2, 2022, 14-year-old Julius Greer Jr. was shot as he approached Gold More Mini Mart in Rochester, New York. He stumbled into the store and collapsed; the wound in his back proved fatal, making his death the city’s first homicide of the new year. Julius attended Leadership Academy for Young Men and was described by family as a quiet, well-mannered teen who loved basketball and hoped to help with the family business.

Police opened an investigation and appealed to the public for information. The mayor, Malik Evans, condemned the violence and a reward fund was created to encourage witnesses to come forward. Julius’s family and the store owner said he was not involved in trouble and suggested he may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time.

No arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified; the case later grew cold. If anyone knew Julius or saw activity near Gold More Mini Mart on January 2, 2022, can you help with information?
