In the overnight hours of December 19, 2014, 16-year-old Jamilah Furquan was fatally shot while riding in a vehicle on Grant Street near Bradley Street in Buffalo, New York. She was with 20-year-old Antonio Tucker when shots were fired into their car at about 11:30 p.m.; Tucker was wounded and survived. Medical help arrived but Jamilah’s injuries proved fatal and the Buffalo Police Department classified the incident as a homicide.

The shooting occurred during a winter marked by a sharp rise in homicides across the city. Detectives investigated and appealed for public assistance, but no suspects were publicly identified and no arrests were announced. The case later went cold and remains an unsolved homicide, a lingering tragedy for Jamilah’s family and community.

If anyone was in the Grant and Bradley Street area that night or has information that could help, please come forward.
