Shawndale Lipscomb, a 26-year-old Black man from Buffalo, New York, was killed in a morning shooting on Ivy Street on the city’s East Side on Thursday, October 8, 2015. Early reports placed the shooting at about 8 a.m.; police found a man dead at the scene as neighbors were starting their day and investigators cordoned off the block.

Authorities connected Lipscomb’s death to a broader cycle of retaliation tied to an earlier killing in the Town of Tonawanda on August 30, 2015, when Anthony L. Stallworth was shot to death. Police and local reporting linked Lipscomb’s death and the September 1, 2015 killing of Damon Hall as incidents of street justice rather than random violence. Reports about Lipscomb’s killing do not describe any arrests or identify a named suspect.
