Jalen Everett, 24, was fatally shot as a passenger in a car in Rochester, New York, on the evening of May 4, 2019, around 8 p.m. He was taken to a local hospital and died of his injuries. Authorities did not identify suspects at the time and urged the public to avoid speculation or retaliatory actions, noting Everett had a history with the law.

Everett’s death drew attention because he had been tried in a high-profile 2015 triple homicide outside the Boys & Girls Club. He was originally convicted of second-degree murder, the verdict was later overturned for juror misconduct, and a 2017 retrial ended in his full acquittal. Of two co-defendants, one was acquitted and the other convicted and given a life sentence. Rochester police said they were investigating any potential link to the 2015 case but had not established a motive.

No arrests or suspect identifications have been announced; anyone with information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
