Roscoe Foster, a 38-year-old father of five from Schenectady, New York, was shot and killed in the early hours of January 25, 2019. The shooting happened around 1 a.m. near the intersection of Becker and Linden streets after Foster was lured to a meeting in his car under the pretense of a small marijuana sale. He was ambushed, shot while fighting his assailants, managed to exit his vehicle, and collapsed on the street; he later died at Ellis Hospital.

The investigation stalled for years amid a lack of cooperating witnesses and only grainy surveillance footage. The case remained unsolved for a long time, prompting Foster’s family and friends to put up a billboard offering a reward for information that would lead to an arrest.

Does anyone have information about Foster, the Becker and Linden area that night, or anything that could help clarify what happened?
