Christopher Lee, 22 and from Gates, was shot seven times in the upper body during a violent encounter on a Rochester street corner in July 2015. He was taken to a nearby hospital but died about half an hour later. The shooting devastated his family and friends and prompted a homicide investigation.

Police identified 24-year-old Rashawn Johnson as a suspect. The Monroe County District Attorney’s Office prosecuted the case and Johnson pleaded guilty to murder for his role in Lee’s death. He was scheduled for sentencing in October of the following year and faced a prison term of 18 years to life.
