Ernesto Ayber was 29 when he was shot and killed outside Club Mexican Village at 547 State Street in Rochester in the early hours of February 7, 2016. What began as a confrontation inside the crowded bar spilled onto the sidewalk at closing and turned into a barrage of gunfire: investigators later reported more than two dozen rounds from multiple handguns fired into a packed sidewalk. Ayber was the lone fatality; seven other people were wounded and taken to hospitals or driven to care after the chaos.

Police said the violence was set off by a dispute over alleged stolen money. Months of work by detectives using interviews, physical evidence, and nearby security footage led to the identification and October arrests of four men. Authorities accused Juan Luis Garcia and Josue Delgado-Rivera of firing into the crowd, with Garcia alleged to have fired the fatal shot, and charged the group with counts that included second-degree murder, weapons offenses, and multiple assaults tied to the wounded survivors. The defendants pleaded not guilty in October as the case moved toward trial.

Does anyone have information about the night outside Club Mexican Village or about Ernesto’s life in Rochester?
