Jeric Terrall Black, a 39-year-old Black/African American man, was shot and killed in his home at 181 King Street in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, on the night of February 1, 2022. Police responded to a report of shots fired at about 11:39 p.m.; officers located Black with a gunshot wound to his abdomen and he was taken to Berkshire Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators identified Michael Rose as the primary suspect. According to the investigation, Rose was driven to Black’s residence by a woman named Shirley Gaylord intending to confront him. A family member at the home let Rose inside; the family member said a gunshot was heard shortly after Rose entered and then saw Rose flee. Gaylord later told police she had driven Rose to and from the King Street address and gave a timeline for the night, including dropping him off on View Street after the shooting.

If anyone knew Jeric Black, the people who were at the house that night, or saw activity on King Street or View Street after 11:30 p.m. on February 1, 2022, please share what can help the ongoing inquiry.
