In the late summer of 2020, the life of Alexander 'Xander' Ruggireo, a 26-year-old male from Syracuse, New York, was tragically cut short. On the morning of Monday, September 21st, Ruggireo was shot at an apartment complex on the city's Westside. He was rushed to a local hospital in critical condition, but tragically, he succumbed to his injuries later that day.
Alexander, who was born and raised in Syracuse, was remembered by loved ones as a man with a big heart who was the life of the
