Jeffrey L. Nash, 46, known to friends and family as Punty, was shot to death in late September 2024 on the 1100 block of Brinckerhoff Avenue in Utica, New York. A Proctor High School graduate and lifelong Utica resident, he is remembered as a generous father and doting grandfather whose warm spirit touched many in his community.

The Utica Police Department opened a homicide investigation but has released few details about the circumstances, motive, or any persons of interest. As of late 2024, no arrests had been announced and the investigation remained ongoing.

If anyone knew Jeffrey, his routines, or saw anything on Brinckerhoff Avenue that night, please come forward with information that could help investigators.
