RPD searching for man seen at mass shooting with a handgun

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Investigators with the Rochester Police Department are searching for a man who was at the scene of the mass shooting at Maplewood Park on Sunday evening. They say he’s seen in photos with a handgun. Police say the man is not a suspect right now, just someone they are looking for in connection to the shooting.

The man they are looking for is in the photos below:

News10NBC received dash camera footage from a car at the park on Sunday and the man is one of at least two people on camera with a gun.

The gunfire at Maplewood Park erupted during a community barbecue around 6:20 p.m., sending hundreds of people running for cover. Two women, Tyasia Manning and Phylicia Council were killed. Five other people were shot. Those five victims are expected to survive.

There were 42 shots fired in 39 seconds.

Here’s that full video:

The man can be seen running in the frame about 20 seconds in, with a gun in his hand.

Police have not said whether they have any suspects in custody, but are urging anyone at Maplewood Park during the gunfire to come forward with any information they have.

Mayor Malik Evans thanked everyone who has come forward.

“We continue to work the case. We continue to ask anyone with information to come forward. Obviously, there are lots of pieces of evidence that are related to this – it won’t be solved overnight. I do want to thank the community for all the information they have put out there. The community has been absolutely amazing in terms of making sure that they send in information, pictures photos videos. And we want to continue to get that information to make sure to bring the individuals that perpetrated this heinous crime to justice,” said Evans.
