Craig Dyer was 62 when he was shot while walking on Reynolds Street in Rochester on July 19, 2017. Witnesses said he was pushing a shopping cart full of cans and bottles when a man approached and shot him in the face during the daytime; Dyer died of his injuries four days later, on July 23, 2017.

Police and cooperating civilian witnesses made an immediate arrest at the scene. Court documents named 66-year-old Robert Jackson as the suspect and alleged a revolver was used. Reports said the two men were known to each other, though the relationship was not publicly detailed.

In January 2018 Jackson pleaded guilty to Manslaughter in the 1st Degree and received a 25-year prison term plus five years of post-release supervision. Does anyone have information about the relationship between Dyer and Jackson or the events leading up to the shooting?
