ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) — Rochester Police have closed a homicide case from 2021—but the suspect isn’t going to jail.
He was killed by Rochester Police last October.
RPD says Simran Gordon—the man who shot at police at a family dollar store—killed a man on Weld Street four months earlier.
They say Gordon shot Lavar Beard at close range in broad daylight around one in the afternoon on June 4, 2021.
The 26-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.
