Jalen Everett was acquitted in the Genesee Street Boys and Girls Club triple homicide has been shot and killed in the city of Rochester, NY. He was fatally shot on Saturday night, four years after he was freed

A man freed on multiple homicide charges stemming from a driveby shooting two years ago, himself became a victim of driveby shooting on Saturday night.
Jalen Everett was shot around 8 p.m. Saturday while riding in a car on Dewey Avenue near Magee Avenue. The 24-year-old was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police haven’t determined a motive for the shooting, which came over two years after Everett was acquitted in his second trial stemming from the triple killing outside the Rochester Boys and Girls Club on August 19, 2015.
A witness was on the scene, but no suspect is in custody at this time, police sources said.
On Sunday, Police Chief La’Ron Singletary warned about rumors of reprisals and implored the public not to let Everett’s death spiral into more violence.
“A lot of people are drawing comparisons” between his killing and the 2015 shootings, Singletary said at a news conference. “Until you hear it from us in regards to what the motive is, everything else is just pure speculation.”
“Let us focus on the task at hand,” he said.
