David Stiner, 71, was killed during an attempted robbery on August 16, 2015, in Syracuse’s Eastwood neighborhood. Stiner, a retired auto mechanic and grandfather, was sitting in the passenger seat of his pickup truck parked outside a convenience store on James Street when two men approached, entered the vehicle and displayed a gun. A shot struck Stiner in the head and he died at the scene after the assailants fled.

Investigators traced the crime to two men, Michael Walker, 43, of Binghamton, and Elijah Mitchell, 42, of New York City, after DNA was recovered on clothing the suspects discarded after the shooting. Both later pleaded guilty. Mitchell admitted he targeted Stiner for robbery and fired the fatal shot; he pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and received 25 years to life. Walker pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and was sentenced in October 2016 to 25 years.

Are there readers who remember that August day on James Street or who have any information about the case?
