Nineteen-year-old Darius Dillard was fatally shot on a street in Rochester, New York, on September 6, 2020. The Rochester Police Department investigated the killing and identified a single suspect in the days that followed.

Authorities arrested 20-year-old Markevion Bells on September 11, 2020, charging him with second-degree murder and two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon. Prosecutors said the shooting grew out of an earlier altercation between Bells and Dillard. Bells’ case went to trial, and a jury found him guilty of the lesser offense of first-degree manslaughter and guilty on both weapon counts.

In April 2022 a judge sentenced Bells to 25 years for the manslaughter conviction, with concurrent 15-year terms for the weapon convictions. If anyone knew Darius, his movements that night, or has information about the shooting, please share what you know.
