In February 2014 an execution-style triple killing in Rochester, New York left three people dead inside an apartment on Chili Avenue. Twenty-one-year-old Jermeliah Simmons was found deceased on February 22, 2014, along with her cousin Jaqueline Simmons and Michael Nelson. Each victim had been shot once in the head with the same 9mm handgun recovered by investigators.

Police tied the slayings to a marijuana trafficking operation and believe the killings were retaliatory after Jermeliah Simmons allegedly stole marijuana from that business. Searches of two other apartments turned up more than 80 pounds of marijuana, scales, packaging materials, and two firearms; forensic testing linked a recovered 9mm pistol to the three murders.

Three men were arrested in the case: Marlando Allen, Andre McFarlane, and Steve Fulcott. Andre McFarlane eventually pleaded guilty to three counts of second-degree murder and was sentenced to 15 years to life; Marlando Allen later pleaded guilty to three counts of second-degree murder and received 15 years to life after questions about his competency earlier in the process.

If anyone knew Jermeliah Simmons or has information about the events on Chili Avenue in February 2014, please come forward.
