Davezhone Bratcher, 23, was shot and killed on Cummings Street in Rochester during the early hours of November 26, 2021. He was a passenger in a car carrying family members, including his 5-year-old sister, when another vehicle blocked them and at least one armed person approached and opened fire. The driver, shot in the upper body, managed to speed to a hospital and survived; the child and another passenger were physically unharmed.

Rochester police later said the shooting was part of a two-day crime spree. In March 2022 a Monroe County grand jury indicted four men in connection with those violent incidents, and by February 2024 three defendants had pleaded to first-degree manslaughter while a fourth was convicted on robbery, attempted robbery, assault and weapons charges. No further details about motives or what specifically led to the car being targeted have been provided.

If anyone who knew Davezhone or witnessed the events that night has information, please come forward.
