Pliekou Irvin Sr., a 38-year-old Black man, was shot while seated in a car near Middle and Exchange Streets in Geneva, New York, on December 5, 2017 at about 9:40 p.m. He was taken to Geneva General Hospital and later died of his injuries.

Geneva Police investigators traced the shooting to a suspect in the area and a standoff took place at a home in neighboring Wayne County, where 30-year-old Willie Dixon McKoy Jr., a Geneva resident, was taken into custody. McKoy was charged with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with Irvin’s death.

The case resulted in a jury trial and convictions on the charges. If anyone has information about Pliekou Irvin Sr., where he spent time that evening, or the events around Middle and Exchange Streets, please share what is known.
