Alexander Allen Cease Burrow, 20, and his friend Bruce Kane, 18, were found dead inside a burned-out car behind a warehouse on King Street in Hamlin, New York, in September 2018. Both young men, former athletes at Brockport High School, had been shot before the vehicle was set ablaze.

Investigators identified 19-year-old Mason Earle, a former classmate, as the suspect and arrested him. Authorities say the killings were targeted and motivated by a debt; prosecutors presented evidence that Earle lured Burrow and Kane to the secluded industrial area, shot them, and then set the car on fire. Earle confessed to the shootings, though his defense attorney argued the confession was coerced.

A jury convicted Mason Earle of two counts of first-degree murder and arson. He faced a sentencing range of 20 years to life up to life without parole. If anyone knew Alexander, Bruce, or their movements in Hamlin around September 2018, please come forward with information.
