Deron L. McGee, 39, was killed in a daylight shooting on April 8, 2026, on Syracuse’s south side near Warner Avenue and Webster Avenue. Police responded around 3 p.m. after reports of gunfire; officers found McGee with a gunshot wound to his upper body and he died shortly after arrival at Upstate University Hospital. The intersection was sealed off with crime-scene tape and evidence markers were placed near spent shell casings while members of the Onondaga County District Attorney’s Office were on scene.

A 10-year-old boy was grazed by a bullet in the same incident and suffered non-life-threatening injuries. McGee was the father of Deron McGee Jr., a 15-year-old who had been shot in August 2024 and later died; that 2024 case resulted in arrests of three teenagers, which are not related to the April 2026 killing. No arrests or suspect descriptions had been announced; the Syracuse Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division requested anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone in the area have information about what happened at Warner and Webster that afternoon?
