shooting

Officers responded to reports of multiple gunshots around 5:30 Thursday afternoon.

The circumstances were eerily similar to those reported by Rochester police following a fatal shooting at the same apartment complex last week.

The case against Coleman was scheduled to go to trial next week.

Court records indicate Johnson previously spent three years in prison for a robbery conviction in 2011 and six years behind bars after being convicted as an armed habitual criminal in Illinois in 2015.

Amidst the quiet of a Thursday afternoon, tensions erupted, leading to a confrontation that would change lives forever.

Rochester Police Department Communications Coordinator Amanda Grayson said the victim was shot outside of an apartment building.

A preliminary investigation indicates it was not a random shooting and there is no known threat to the general public.

The public is being asked to avoid the area.

Rochester police responded to the gunfire on April 1 of last year at a southeast Rochester apartment building.

Police say the incident began around 10:45 Monday morning with a trespass call. It ended with officers fatally shooting the dog.
