Shatina Jones was 46 when she was killed on the porch of a friend’s home on Rialto Street in Rochester in the early hours of May 6, 2024. She had traveled from Buffalo to Rochester to celebrate her daughter Shyasia’s 26th birthday and was stepping outside to smoke around 1 a.m. when a car approached and an occupant opened fire, spraying the porch with nearly two dozen shots from multiple weapons.

Also killed in the attack was 43-year-old Timothy Chealey of Rochester; a man in his 20s was shot and survived. Investigators described the shooting as a targeted act of retaliation tied to an altercation at the concert earlier that evening, and an assistant district attorney said one of the victims had nothing to do with the earlier dispute.

Police arrested 23-year-old Jermaine Williams in Niagara Falls on May 31, 2024, and brought him back to Rochester to face charges in the double homicide. A brawl broke out at his arraignment between relatives and others in the courtroom, prompting deputies to use pepper spray and two disorderly conduct arrests.
