In the cold of a Buffalo winter, Darryal Aughtry, a 30-year-old male, was fatally shot on the evening of Friday, February 8, 2019. The incident, which marked the city's second homicide of the year, took place on Wyoming Avenue. Emergency crews responded to a call just before 8 p.m. where they discovered Aughtry wounded from gunfire. He was quickly transported to Erie County Medical Center for treatment, but tragically, he succumbed to his injuries.
In the immediate aftermath, the Buffalo
Police Department launched an investigation into the shooting, appealing to the public for any information that could lead to the apprehension of those responsible. Details about the circumstances leading up to the shooting were not readily available, leaving a community searching for answers. By June of that year, the case remained unsolved, prompting officials to offer a reward for any information that could help them identify and arrest a suspect.
Despite the passage of time and the reward offered, public online sources and news reports have not indicated that any arrests have been made in connection with the death of Darryal Aughtry. The case appears to have gone cold, with no suspects publicly identified or brought to trial. His death remains an unsolved homicide, leaving his family and the community without a sense of closure or justice for his untimely passing.
