Chariel Osorio was 17 when he was fatally wounded at a large outdoor party in Syracuse on Saturday, June 20, 2020. The gathering of several hundred people was disrupted by an outbreak of gunfire that left nine people shot; while most victims, ages 18 to 53, were expected to survive, Osorio did not. Investigators described the shooting as tied to a violent clash between rival gangs and said as many as six people fired into the crowded event on the Near West Side.

Community members held a vigil attended by nearly 200 people to mourn Osorio, who had received his high school diploma earlier that day. Investigators suggested he may have been an innocent bystander and possibly was trying to break up the fight when he was shot. In the weeks after the shooting, three suspects were arrested; Handsome Rice and Devar Williams were charged with murder and Eric Williams was charged with attempted murder.

Did anyone at the party or in the neighborhood see events that night that could help clarify who fired or what sparked the confrontation?
