Joslyn N. Bishop, 33, was shot and killed in the basement of her Stevenson Street home in Buffalo on the evening of December 27, 2018. Her stepfather, who was upstairs painting, heard several gunshots and found her gravely wounded; she was taken to Erie County Medical Center and later died. No one was heard entering the house and the stepfather reported no signs of a struggle or commotion before the shots.

Authorities describe the investigation as active but cold. The Buffalo Police Department and the Erie County District Attorney’s Office continue to seek leads; Crime Stoppers has offered a reward of up to $7,500 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Family members remember Bishop, also known as Booka, as funny, caring, and loving, and have made a shrine to her memory.

Does anyone who lived on or near Stevenson Street in late December 2018 have information that could help the investigation?
