Chrishon L. Youmas was 24 when he was killed by gunfire in Rochester, New York, on the evening of December 11, 2020. Police found him on the sidewalk near North Clinton Avenue and Clifford Avenue at about 8:10 p.m. with a gunshot wound to his upper body; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators determined he was not the intended target.

A week after the shooting, 24-year-old Tywayne Ivery of Rochester was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the death. Prosecutors described Youmas as an innocent bystander who was struck in crossfire. While out on bail for the murder charge, Ivery was arrested again on a weapons possession charge in August 2021.

In September 2022 a jury convicted Ivery of second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, and on November 17, 2022 he was sentenced to 40 years to life. Does anyone have memories of Chrishon or information about what happened that night?
