On the evening of December 31, 2020, William Lewis McBride, 61, was inside a home on Bardin Street in Rochester when more than a dozen bullets were fired into the house from outside. Just after 6 p.m., officers responding to reports of multiple shots found McBride with a gunshot wound to his upper body; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said roughly 10 to 15 rounds had been fired into the residence between Ridgeway Avenue and West Ridge Road. Although multiple people were inside at the time, McBride was the only person struck. The killing was listed among Rochester’s 2020 homicides, and the Major Crimes Unit was assigned to determine a motive and identify a suspect. No arrests were announced in the immediate aftermath and investigators asked anyone with information about the Bardin Street shooting to come forward.

Did anyone in the Rochester area see or hear anything that night that could help identify who fired into that home?
