On the evening of May 4, 2024, 14-year-old Jazzmine Fomby was fatally shot near Jefferson Avenue on Alexander Place in Buffalo, New York, after a large house party of at least 100 young people spilled into the street. Disputes that began inside the party reportedly turned physical, and sometime after police were called to break up the gathering, gunfire erupted in a nearby parking lot. Investigators recovered shell casings on Alexander Place; police believe at least three handguns were present.

Six teenagers in total were shot that night. Jazzmine was taken to Oishei Children’s Hospital and later died of her injuries; five other victims, aged 15 to 16, were treated at local hospitals for wounds ranging from minor to critical. No arrests have been announced and the Buffalo Police Department has not publicly identified any suspects. Detectives have canvassed the area and are urging witnesses to come forward; Crime Stoppers of Western New York is offering up to a $7,500 reward for information leading to arrest and conviction.

Does anyone who was at or near that party on May 4 have information that could help investigators?
