On July 22, 2020, 22-year-old Shaqur Nesmith was at the corner of Jay and Orchard streets in Rochester, New York, when a vehicle drove by and occupants fired multiple shots in his direction. Nesmith was struck, taken to Strong Memorial Hospital, and later died; his death was ruled a homicide and the Rochester Police Department opened an investigation.

Investigators identified a suspect, and in October 2020 authorities arrested 25-year-old Nicholas Serret in connection with the shooting. Prosecutors said Serret drove past the intersection, identified Nesmith, and fired between six and ten rounds. Motive was not released.

In January 2022 Serret pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and in April 2022 a judge sentenced him to 20 years in the New York State Department of Corrections with five years of post-release supervision. Does anyone have information about Shaqur’s movements that evening or witnessed activity near Jay and Orchard on July 22, 2020?
