Renard Small, 22, was found dead inside his vehicle after it crashed into a tree at the intersection of Post Avenue and Sawyer Street in Rochester on the morning of April 29, 2015. Police determined Small had been shot multiple times while driving, and his death was recorded as the city’s 12th homicide that year.

Investigators identified a person of interest, 20-year-old John Gordon, who was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. Authorities say Gordon was a passenger in Small’s car at the time; videos showing Gordon and Small together at various locations, along with cellphone and GPS data, were cited as placing Gordon at the scene. Gordon pleaded not guilty.

Small had been shot in the face in a separate incident in February 2015, and police looked into a possible connection between that earlier shooting and his death. Police said they were not actively seeking other suspects in the homicide. Does anyone have information about Small’s movements or acquaintances in Rochester in spring 2015?
