Jeremy Dukes was 28 when he was killed in Rochester, New York. On the evening of December 21, 2014, police responded to a residence on Driving Park Avenue and found Dukes’s body. Investigators concluded he had been struck with a blunt object and then fatally shot with a handgun; the Monroe County Medical Examiner pronounced him dead at the scene. He was a Black male.

Rochester police identified 31-year-old Nicholas Bevans III of Evans Mills as a suspect. Witness statements and forensic evidence linked Bevans to the crime; he was arrested, arraigned in Rochester City Court and held without bail. A Monroe County grand jury later returned an indictment for manslaughter rather than the original second-degree murder charge. Bevans remained in custody at the Monroe County Jail awaiting the next steps in the legal process.
