Jeremiah Maddox, 23, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of January 26, 2025, at a house on Ferris Street near Culver Road in Rochester, New York. Police responded to calls of a shooting shortly after 2 a.m.; multiple rounds had been fired into the residence from outside. Officers found Maddox inside the home and he was pronounced dead at the scene. A 19-year-old man in the house suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to his lower body and was taken to Strong Hospital.

Three other occupants escaped without physical injury. The property owner told investigators the house was not regularly occupied but was kept as an extra home for his children. Friends knew Maddox as Sav or Slatt; he was a father to a daughter named Stormy, was working toward a GED, had recently obtained a DBA for his business, and was described as a humble, devoted and enterprising young man. The Rochester Police Department Major Crimes Homicide Unit is investigating and has not publicly identified any suspects.
