Justin New York Gerena was 27 when he was fatally shot in Phoenix on the night of June 4, 2015. At about 11:20 p.m. he was seated at a bus stop on the southwest corner of 27th Avenue and Northern with two other people when a man across the street began shouting obscenities at someone in the group. The confrontation escalated when the man produced a handgun and opened fire.

Gerena and one other person were struck; both were taken to a hospital and Gerena later died of his injuries. The third person at the stop escaped uninjured. The shooter was described only as a Black male. Phoenix Police appealed for help and Silent Witness offered a reward for information leading to the person’s identification and arrest.

Who remembers that night or has information about the man seen across from the bus stop?
