Leon Bruno Nelson Jr., 48, was fatally shot in Buffalo, New York. He was last known to be at the May Street home he shared with his girlfriend; she was away for the weekend and, after failing to reach him, returned on July 30, 2017. Family members reported him missing and a search of the residence turned up his body concealed in the basement on July 31, 2017.

Investigators focused on 26-year-old Dydisci Martin, who was subletting a room in the same house. Prosecutors alleged Martin shot Nelson while the girlfriend was out of town. Digital evidence presented at trial showed Martin searched online for ways to remove gunshot residue from his hands in the hours after the killing. A jury found Martin guilty of murder in January 2019, and he was sentenced in March 2019 to 25 years to life.

If anyone knew Bruno, the May Street residence, or saw suspicious activity around the end of July 2017, please share what was seen.
