Richard Sciascia, 71, was killed during an attempted carjacking on April 7, 2021, on Buell Road in the Town of Gates, Rochester, New York. The attack happened in the morning at about 10:41 a.m. Two individuals approached his vehicle and tried to steal it; when Sciascia refused, one of the assailants produced a gun and shot him. He was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Investigators from the Gates Police Department and the New York State Police identified two teenage suspects. Edgar Tolentino, 16 at the time, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder; the other suspect was identified as 16-year-old Anthony Jacobs. On June 7, 2022, Tolentino pleaded guilty to Murder in the Second Degree.

Did anyone in the Rochester area see activity on Buell Road that morning or have information about the two teens involved?
