Seventeen-year-old Ronnie Scott was killed in a drive-by shooting in Buffalo, New York, on August 12, 2014. He had left home to join friends and was on Shirley Avenue when a car approached and gunfire erupted; police say the shots were not intended for Ronnie. Another person was wounded but survived. Ronnie was taken to a nearby hospital and died of his injuries.

Ronnie’s mother, Davita Patterson, has spoken publicly about his death and remembers him as a devoted father who often spent time at Trinidad Park playing basketball and with his young son. The case remains unsolved and no arrests have been announced; investigators say potential witnesses have been uncooperative. A Crime Stoppers reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest.

If anyone knew Ronnie, saw activity on Shirley Avenue that evening, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
