A young man was shot inside a Sherman Street building in Albany and later died after collapsing on a nearby sidewalk. James Hines, 27, who lived in Troy, was struck by gunfire on Sunday, October 8, 2017. After being wounded he apparently fled the building and collapsed a short distance away on Elk Street, where emergency responders pronounced him dead.

Albany police detectives canvassed the West Hill neighborhood and sought witnesses to piece together what happened inside the Sherman Street building. In the days after the shooting no arrests had been announced, and police had not identified suspects or a motive. The investigation remained active with authorities asking the public for information.

Did anyone in the area see or hear anything the evening of October 8, 2017, that could help investigators?
