An argument at a house party in the early morning hours of September 12, 2015, in Rochester’s Marketview Heights neighborhood turned deadly when gunfire erupted around 4:30 a.m., killing 36-year-old John Rudolph. The shooting also killed 34-year-old Herbert Thomas and wounded three women who were at the gathering.

Authorities identified William James as the person who opened fire after a dispute with Rudolph. James was shot in the leg during the incident, taken into custody soon after, and arraigned in Rochester City Court on second-degree murder charges; he appeared at arraignment in a wheelchair and pleaded not guilty.

In September 2016 James pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of first-degree manslaughter for Rudolph’s death and in October 2016 received an 18-year New York State Prison sentence. Does anyone have information about the party that night or knew John Rudolph and can help fill in the timeline leading up to the shooting?
