On a Saturday evening in May 2019, 24-year-old Jalen Everett was shot inside a vehicle at the intersection of Dewey and Electric Avenues in Rochester, New York. Police responded to gunfire around 8 p.m.; Everett was found wounded, taken to a nearby hospital, and pronounced dead.

Everett’s death drew attention because of his connection to a separate, high-profile 2015 mass shooting outside the Boys & Girls Club on Genesee Street that killed Jonah Barley, Johnny Johnson, and Raekwon Manigault and injured four others. Everett had been one of three men charged in that case. A jury initially convicted him of second-degree murder, but that verdict was later set aside for alleged juror misconduct and a retrial in January 2017 resulted in his acquittal. Of the other two defendants, Johnny Blackshell Jr. was convicted and sentenced to life, and Michael Mathis Jr. was acquitted.

After Jalen Everett’s killing, Rochester police urged calm and warned against retaliatory violence. As of the first reports, no arrests or publicly identified suspects had been announced and the investigation was ongoing.

Did anyone in Rochester see or hear anything in that area the night of the shooting that could help investigators?
