Aaron Hurell, 24, died after being struck by a single gunshot inside a house on Rialto Street in Rochester on July 3, 2024. Hurell was on the first floor when a bullet traveled downward through the ceiling from the second floor and struck him in the head. He died on the Saturday following the Wednesday night shooting.

The shot came from an AR-15 that a 25-year-old acquaintance, Marquell Miller, had on the second floor. Officials describe the shooting as an unintentional, preventable accident. Miller later turned himself in to Rochester police and was arrested; he was charged with second-degree manslaughter and weapons possession and initially pleaded not guilty.

What details about that night or about the residence on Rialto Street might help explain how a discharged round passed through the floor and fatally struck someone below?
