Drive-By Shooting At Vigil In Rochester Caught On Video, 12 and 16 Year Old Shot

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Mayor Malik Evans is demanding that people come forward with information about the shooting at a vigil on Monday evening that injured two girls, age 12 and 16, and a man in his 20s.

Rochester Police says the vigil on William Warfield Drive was a balloon release in memory of Jeremiah Baker, 17. Baker was shot and killed on the same street on June 12.

RPD Lt. Greg Bello says he saw a video on social media showing the attendees of the vigil bowing their heads in prayer when gunshots started to ring out. In the video, children can be heard crying out.

RPD responded to the shooting on William Warfield Drive, off Joseph Avenue, around 6:20 p.m. after getting reports of gunfire. All three victims are expected to survive and private cars took them to Rochester General Hospital for treatment.

The 16-year-old and 12-year-old were shot in the lower body. The 20-year-old was shot in the upper body. There were several police cars stationed outside the hospital after the victims arrived. Officers and what looks like community members could be seen standing by the emergency room.

Lt. Bello said no one is in custody for the shooting on Monday or for the murder of Jeremiah Baker in June.
