A summer gathering at the Boys & Girls Club on Genesee Street in Rochester, New York, ended in gunfire on the night of August 19, 2015. As people were dispersing after a basketball game, shots came from a passing vehicle; 17-year-old Jonah Barley was one of three young men killed in the attack.

The investigation resulted in arrests. Johnny Blackshell Jr. was identified as a shooter and, at trial, was reported to have fired a rifle into the crowd. In July 2016 a jury found him guilty on three counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Jonah Barley, Raekwon Manigault, and Johnny Johnson; he was sentenced to life without parole. Two others, Jalen Everett and Michael Mathis Jr., were charged as well; Everett’s initial conviction was set aside for juror misconduct and he was acquitted at retrial in January 2017, and Mathis Jr. was also acquitted.

What details about that night or the people involved might still help explain why this shooting happened?
