On June 20, 2018, a burst of gunfire in the parking lot of the Rite Aid on Thurston Road in Rochester, New York, killed 30-year-old William Gibson. Gibson and a friend, 28-year-old Anthony Robertson, were sitting in a car when the attack occurred; both men were killed. A woman in another vehicle was also struck and left paralyzed from the waist down.

Investigators treated Gibson and Robertson as innocent bystanders caught in crossfire. The case brought charges against Samuel Shaw, with evidence presented at trial showing he fired 13 rounds in the parking lot. The prosecution did not establish a definitive motive, but jurors convicted Shaw of murder and assault in May 2019 and he was later sentenced for the killings.

If anyone has information about the events in that parking lot on June 20, 2018, or knew William Gibson, please come forward.
