On June 14, 2007, a killing on Mohr Avenue in Buffalo, New York, left David Bernas, a 74-year-old White/Caucasian man, dead. The case was recorded as a murder investigated by the Buffalo Police Department, with the incident tied to the 14212 ZIP code in Erie County.
What happened in the moments that led to his death has not been publicly laid out in detail. The available public record lists the cause as unknown, offering no clear account of the weapon or method, no description of the scene, and no narrative of who might have been with him or why he was targeted. In place of those missing pieces is the stark outline of an investigation: a location, a date, and a life that ended violently.
As the case has been tracked publicly, no suspect has been identified by name. The suspect field remains listed as unknown, and there is no public indication of an arrest connected to the homicide. No charges, court proceedings, or convictions have been publicly linked to the death, and the case status remains unsolved.
The Buffalo Police Department continues to handle homicide investigations through its Homicide Squad, and the case has remained one of those that still depends on the detail someone might remember, the conversation someone overheard, or the fragment of information that finally fits. Anyone with information has been directed to contact the Buffalo Police Department’s Homicide Squad at 716-851-4466.
