Denell A Baker was 28 when he was fatally shot in Buffalo, New York, on the evening of December 28, 2014. The shooting took place at the intersection of East North Street and Jefferson Avenue. Witnesses and investigators tied the shooting to 28-year-old Deshawn Harris of Buffalo.

After the shooting, 27-year-old Jordan Hicks of Buffalo drove away from the scene with Baker’s body still in the vehicle; the body was later left on Peach Street. Buffalo Police Department Homicide Detectives traced the case to the individuals involved. During a later, unrelated traffic stop, Hicks was found in possession of the weapon used in the killing, and he pleaded guilty to Hindering Prosecution in the First Degree and Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree, receiving a nine-year jail term followed by five years of post-release supervision.
