Jit Mongar was 38 when he was shot and killed after leaving a convenience store on Lake Avenue in Rochester on the night of July 19, 2015. A refugee from Nepal, he had been supporting a wife and seven children after resettling in the United States. Investigators said the attack began as an attempted robbery and car theft as Mongar was getting back into his car; a group confronted him, a struggle broke out at the vehicle, and he was shot at close range. He was taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.

Police focused on three teenagers in the months after the killing. Court filings described a coordinated attempt to take Mongar’s car, with one teen climbing into the backseat and others approaching the driver’s side; the confrontation ended with Mongar being fatally shot. By late 2015 arrests and court appearances had been made and prosecutors charged the teens in connection with the robbery and shooting. If anyone knew Jit Mongar or saw activity near the Lake Avenue store that night, can you help investigators with information?
