On the night of September 15, 2021, 33-year-old Julian Mansaw was shot to death inside an apartment on Croly Street in Syracuse, New York. Mansaw, a certified auto mechanic, former U.S. Army serviceman, and truck driver, was struck multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene. A second victim, 29-year-old Shabriah Gainey, was also killed; she later died at a local hospital.

Investigators reported Mansaw had been shot ten times and Gainey five. An 8-year-old boy was inside the apartment during the shooting and survived; his account became a central piece of the case. Law enforcement arrested 39-year-old Bruce Myles in Ohio and charged him with first-degree murder in both deaths. Myles pleaded not guilty, and a judge later found the child competent to testify at a forthcoming trial.

Does anyone have information about Mansaw’s life in Syracuse or the Croly Street apartment that could help fill gaps in this case?
