Eric Martin Jr., 21, was killed in a daylight drive-by shooting in Rochester, New York. On May 30, 2023, he had been dropping a family member off at their workplace on Dewey Avenue when a passenger in a passing car opened fire, discharging more than a dozen shots. One bullet struck Martin; he was taken to a hospital and died the next day, on May 31, 2023. Authorities said Martin was believed not to have been the intended target.

Investigators identified the vehicle as a stolen Kia. The driver was Kirsean Chatfield and the passenger who fired the shots was Keyvin Miller. The motive was not immediately clear. Both men later pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter. The community is still processing the loss of a young life taken in a seemingly random act of violence.

If anyone knew Eric, his movements that day, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
