Lewis Puryear Jr. was 30 when he was shot and killed in the early morning hours of October 16, 2016, on Orchard Street in Rochester, New York. Reports say the violence followed a house party where an argument escalated into an exchange of gunfire; Puryear was struck during that shooting.

Two people were arrested on weapons-possession charges during the investigation, but investigators told Puryear’s mother, Marcella Cunningham, they did not believe either fired the fatal shot. Heavy gunfire at the scene made it difficult to determine which weapon caused the death, and the case was later closed and remains unsolved.

Does anyone have information about what happened at that party or who might have fired the shot that killed Lewis Puryear Jr.?
