On August 10, 2015, 23-year-old Jonathan Diaz Padilla was attacked and shot outside the David F. Gantt Community Center in Rochester, New York. Multiple assailants both beat and shot Padilla; he suffered three gunshot wounds to his right arm, left hip, and left shoulder and died about an hour after being taken to Strong Memorial Hospital. Surveillance cameras partially captured the daylight assault.

Rochester police identified and charged four people in connection with the ambush. Adalberto Marrero-Padilla, then 39, and Angel Fontanez-Guzman, then 22, were charged with second-degree murder; Marrero-Padilla was convicted in October 2016 of second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon and later received the maximum sentence of 25 years to life. Two others — 17-year-old Josue J. Colon, charged with first-degree gang assault, and 24-year-old Christopher Delancey, charged with first-degree gang assault — were also implicated.

Does anyone have information about Padilla’s movements that afternoon or about witnesses who were near the community center?
