Kinu Rochford, 35, was killed by a gunshot to the head during a community basketball tournament in Harlem on the evening of July 10, 2026. The shooting occurred at the Kingdome Basketball Tournament near 70 Lenox Avenue shortly after 10:20 p.m. Rochford, a former Fairleigh Dickinson University standout who played professionally in Europe, was taken to Mount Sinai Morningside in critical condition and was pronounced dead.

Two other people were wounded — a 28-year-old man shot in the shin and a 22-year-old woman shot in the forearm; both were hospitalized in stable condition and expected to recover. Initial accounts conflicted on whether the shooting was accidental or the result of a targeted dispute. As of the latest reports, no arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified.

Did anyone at the Kingdome tournament or nearby that night see anything that could help investigators?
