On the night of August 5, 2009, 25-year-old Joseph Lovett was fatally shot outside a residence at 72 Hirschbeck Street in Buffalo’s Broadway-Bailey neighborhood. The attack occurred around 2 a.m. while Lovett, a father to a young son, was visiting family and leaving; 19-year-old Jamie Norton was also killed and three others were wounded. Survivors included Lawanda Strozier, 27, in serious condition; Kimberly Caldwell, 20, in fair condition; and Joseph Cole, 29, who was treated and released.

Authorities early on suggested an attempted robbery that went wrong, while a relative of Lovett speculated the shooting might have been a targeted hit possibly connected to Norton, who reportedly had testified before a grand jury in another murder case. No arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved. A Crime Stoppers reward of up to $9,000 is being offered for information leading to arrest and conviction.
