Justin Crowder, 25, was killed on November 2, 2015 in Rochester, New York, after being struck by a shotgun blast that was not aimed at him. An argument between 45-year-old Eric Clay and his neighbor about a motor vehicle accident escalated; Clay retrieved a shotgun and fired at his neighbor. The shot missed and hit Crowder, who was nearby but not involved in the dispute. Police took a person into custody shortly after the shooting.

Court proceedings followed. On August 23, 2016, a judge found Eric Clay guilty of Murder in the Second Degree, Attempted Murder in the Second Degree, Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Fourth Degree, and Menacing in the Second Degree. On October 27, 2016, Clay was sentenced to 18 years to life in prison for Crowder’s murder.
