Elisha Phelps, a 38-year-old Black man, was shot dead on January 4, 2018 in Rochester, New York. Police were called to Murray Street around 11:30 a.m. and found Phelps with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body; he was pronounced dead at the scene and that shooting was the city’s first homicide of the year.

An arrest was made early in the investigation: 38-year-old Lavar Lovely was taken into custody and charged with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon and one count of criminal possession of marijuana. Police said the arrest was linked to the homicide probe but did not immediately specify Lovely’s role in Phelps’s death. Investigators described the case as ongoing.

Does anyone have information about what happened after that initial arrest or about Elisha Phelps’s life and connections in Rochester?
