Randal Bede Brooks, 20, was found fatally shot outside the Eastgate Apartments at Market and Sullivan Streets in Elmira in the early morning hours of Thursday, July 5, 2012. Authorities later treated the death as a homicide.
Investigators identified two men in connection with the case. Jerel Rollins, then 20, was named as the suspected shooter and charged with second-degree murder, criminal possession of a weapon, and making a false written statement. Jordan Rosel, 19, was charged with robbery and criminal possession of a weapon. Rosel told police he had been with Brooks that night and alleged Brooks had participated in the robbery of another man near the apartments shortly before Brooks was shot; Rosel said he ran from the scene and Brooks was shot. Rosel was held at the Chemung County Jail on $25,000 bail.
Are there details about Brooks the community remembers or information that could shed light on what happened that night?
