On August 23, 2014, 31-year-old Benjamin Gerald was a passenger in a vehicle on May Street in Buffalo, New York, when the vehicle was fired upon. The vehicle crashed and overturned; another passenger, 30-year-old Deverin L. White, died at the scene. Gerald was taken into surgery but died shortly after from his injuries.

Police identified Christopher J. Perkins, Jr., then 23 and a Cheektowaga resident, as the primary suspect. Perkins fled the Buffalo area and was later located and arrested in Oklahoma by the U.S. Marshals, then extradited to Buffalo. In March 2016 Perkins stood trial in a non-jury proceeding. The court found him guilty of murder, attempted murder, and criminal possession of a weapon; in April 2016 he was sentenced to 40 years to life. His attorney said an appeal was intended.

Did anyone in Buffalo at the time have information about the shooting on May Street or the vehicle involved?
