Man accused of shooting 61-year-old woman in Rochester carjacking

Rochester, NY — A 25-year-old man is facing multiple charges for allegedly shooting a woman last month after stealing a car on Jefferson Avenue.

Officers say that on Oct. 5 around 11 p.m., a 61-year-old woman arrived at Strong Memorial Hospital with at least one non-life-threatening gunshot wound to her lower body.

The victim reported that she was at a corner store on Jefferson Avenue when her friend’s vehicle was stolen.

She, her husband and boyfriend followed the vehicle to Tremont Street, where 25-year-old Shaiquon Reeves opened fire, striking the victim and the vehicle they were in. Officers say they recovered the stolen vehicle the next day.

Investigators identified Reeves as the suspected shooter and arrested him Friday on Remington Street.

Reeves is charged with assault, robbery, criminal possession of a weapon and theft. He also had an outstanding warrant for criminal impersonation and trafficking charges.
