Terence West Jr. was 16 when he was fatally shot outside his family’s Lake Street Apartments residence in Newburgh, New York, in the early morning hours of May 9, 2015. Prosecutors say he was lured outside by a text message before the shooting. He was taken to St.

Luke’s-Cornwall Hospital’s Newburgh campus, where he died. His funeral was held at Holy Temple Church.Four years after the killing, in May 2018, 25-year-old Jamaad Murphy of the Town of Wallkill was arrested and later indicted by a grand jury on second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the case. Murphy pleaded not guilty and remained held in the Orange County Jail while the case proceeded.The trial began in January 2019 in Orange County Court with the prosecution presenting its case; the community followed the proceedings closely.

Does anyone have memories of Terence or information about the night of May 9, 2015 that could shed light on what happened?
