Nineteen-year-old Raekwon Manigault was killed in a mass shooting on August 19, 2015, outside the Boys & Girls Club on Genesee Street in Rochester, New York. A crowd had gathered after a basketball game when gunfire struck the group; Manigault and two other young men, Jonah Barley, 17, and Johnny Johnson, 25, were killed and four others were wounded.

Police identified 21-year-old Johnny Blackshell Jr. as the shooter and said an AK-47 was used to fire into the crowd. Blackshell, who was on parole at the time, was arrested less than a week after the killings. Prosecutors described the attack as gang-related and said Blackshell was associated with a gang known as the Maroon Goons.

In June 2016 a jury found Johnny Blackshell Jr. guilty of three counts of first-degree murder, along with multiple assault and weapons convictions; he received life without parole for the murders. Two other men charged in connection with the shooting were later acquitted.
