On the afternoon of October 7, 2024, 18-year-old Devin Barstow of Greece, New York, was fatally shot in Rochester. The shooting took place around 4 p.m. in the rear parking lot of Charles T. Lunsford School No. 19 on Seward Street; authorities later said Barstow had no known connection to the school or its adjacent recreation center.

After being shot multiple times, he ran to the porch of a vacant house at 286 Flint Street and collapsed. A passerby found him unresponsive about two hours later, around 6 p.m., and emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene. Barstow’s death was recorded as the city’s 42nd homicide of 2024. An indictment later charged a teenager with murder-related counts in connection with the shooting, and a guilty plea to a reduced count was entered in January 2026; that person is awaiting sentencing.

Did anyone see Barstow that afternoon or have information about the argument that led to the shooting?
