Jamar G. Bacchus was 22 when he was shot and killed in Syracuse on July 25, 2016. The death was ruled a homicide; Bacchus sustained multiple gunshot wounds. The shooting prompted vigils and memorials as family and friends mourned and the community called for answers.

Investigators eventually arrested two men in connection with the killing: Raquan’ T. Tearney, then 18, and Bryant Hopkins, then 29. Both were indicted on charges that included second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon. Jurors later convicted Tearney and Hopkins, and both received lengthy prison terms—Tearney 20 years to life, and Hopkins 25 years to life plus an additional 15 years for a weapons charge to run concurrently.

If anyone knew Jamar, saw him on July 25, 2016, or has information about the events leading up to the shooting, please share what is known.
