On the afternoon of September 18, 2023, 20-year-old Jayden West, a Black male, was shot in the Lansingburgh neighborhood of Troy, New York, near 6th Avenue and 105th Street, a few blocks from Lansingburgh High School. Multiple 911 calls came in around 2:30 p.m.; a school resource officer arrived and found Jayden with gunshot wounds. He was given first aid and taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Two days later, on September 20, 2023, Troy Police arrested 27-year-old Gustavo Santana Jr. Authorities said Santana and West knew each other and had been involved in a dispute that escalated before the shooting. Jayden’s sister, 29-year-old Nakeia West, was also shot and injured; her wounds were described as not life-threatening. Santana was charged with second-degree murder, felony assault for the wounding of Nakeia West, and criminal possession of a weapon.
