Devin McBride Sr., 38, was found dead from at least one gunshot wound to the torso in a downstairs apartment on Garson Avenue in Rochester, New York, in the late hours of December 29, 2025. The first report to police came from his 17-year-old son, who said an unknown intruder had shot his father and fled. Investigators later concluded that the initial account was false and allege the son shot his father following an argument. Police recovered a defaced, unregistered 9mm handgun and a shotgun from the apartment that were reported to belong to the younger McBride.

After the investigation, the teenager was arrested and charged with Murder in the 2nd Degree and Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the 2nd Degree. He was arraigned in Family Court with bail set at $10,000 cash, and a Monroe County Grand Jury later indicted him on second-degree murder and gun charges. Family members say the situation is more complex than it appears and have asked the public to reserve judgment.

If anyone knew Devin McBride Sr., his son, or has information about what happened that night on Garson Avenue, please come forward.
