On a late summer afternoon in Rochester, Minnesota, gunfire broke out at Parkside Mobile Home Park on August 31, 2015, around 2:15 p.m. Twenty-two-year-old Trumane Lamar Gillmore, a Black male, was killed on a basketball court. Two other young men were wounded: 20-year-old Demonterious Davonte Jackson was shot in the leg, and 18-year-old Jerome Richard Zachary was grazed by a bullet. Children and other witnesses were present during the daylight shooting.

Investigators tied the shooting to a robbery reported earlier that day in the 300 block of 31st Street Northeast. The robbery victim, 19-year-old Courtney Ocegueda, said he had been robbed of a shotgun and a watch. Authorities identified the three men who were shot as suspects in that robbery and described the shooting as a retaliation for the earlier theft.

A suspect fleeing the scene was seen in a white t-shirt, dark blue jeans, and a red bandana covering his face. Law enforcement located and arrested Courtney Ocegueda at a Faribault residence after using tear gas to draw him out. Jackson and Zachary were later charged for their roles in the robbery.

Did anyone in the Rochester area witness the robbery or the shooting or have information about the events that day?
