Eddie Washington Jr., 40, was fatally shot on the night of November 26, 2025, on Syracuse’s Near Westside. Officers responded to a ShotSpotter alert around 9:36 p.m. and found Washington unconscious and not breathing near 317 Tully Street outside the James Geddes Housing complex with gunshot wounds to the head and chest. He was taken to Upstate University Hospital and later pronounced dead.

Shell casings and scene damage indicate multiple rounds were fired; two nearby vehicles were struck as well, suggesting the shooting posed a wider risk to residents in the densely populated complex. Tully Street was closed from Wyoming Street to Tioga Street for several hours while investigators processed the scene and canvassed for witnesses and security footage.

No arrests, suspect names, or motives have been announced. Detectives are treating this as an active homicide and have asked anyone with information, including home or vehicle camera footage, to contact the Syracuse Police Department at 442-5222. Did anyone in the area see or record anything that could help identify who fired the shots?
