Rashad Nicholson, a 30-year-old Black man, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of July 24, 2021, near Third and Oak streets in Albany, New York. Responding medics found Nicholson with gunshot wounds to his torso; he was taken to Albany Medical Center and later died. He left behind four children.

For more than a year the case remained without a formal charging of a suspect. In November 2022 an Albany man, 28-year-old Nicholas Anderson, was indicted on second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with Nicholson’s death. Anderson initially pleaded not guilty to those charges.
