On October 5, 2023, just before midnight in Rochester, New York, 32-year-old Shalar Davy was shot near the intersection of Portland Avenue and Norton Street. Police found Davy on the sidewalk with gunshot wounds to his chest and abdomen; he was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital and later died from his injuries.

Investigators say two men, identified as 17-year-old Jordan Torres and Eric Thomas, approached another man near Davy with the intent to rob him. Torres was armed with a 9mm semi-automatic pistol and Thomas carried a long rifle. Davy intervened to stop the robbery and was struck when Torres fired twice, one round hitting Davy in the chest. Both suspects fled the scene with stolen property.

Torres was arrested in Mt. Vernon on October 13, 2023; Thomas was arrested in Rochester on October 18, 2023. Davy was described by prosecutors as a beloved son and brother taken from his community a month before his 33rd birthday.
