Parris Warren Jr., 36, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of June 2, 2018, on Genesee Street near High Street in Buffalo, New York. He died at the scene around 3:00 a.m.

Buffalo Police Homicide investigators kept the case active for more than two years before arrests were made. In late 2020 a 23-year-old, Sidney Watson, was arrested and arraigned on murder and weapons charges. A second man, 31-year-old Bryant Ziegler Jr., was later indicted on Murder in the Second Degree and Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree. Prosecutors alleged Watson and Ziegler acted together in the shooting.

In plea hearings in August 2023 both men pleaded guilty to reduced charges: Ziegler pleaded to Manslaughter in the First Degree and Watson pleaded to Attempted Murder in the Second Degree. Each faced up to 25 years and was being held without bail pending sentencing dates.

If anyone knew Parris Warren, his movements that night, or has information about the shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
