Rochester Man Guilty in Chili Ave. Homicide

A Rochester man has been found guilty of killing a man on the city's southwest side.

33-year-old Rakeem Lane was convicted today of 2nd-degree murder and 2 weapons charges.

Prosecutors say he gunned down Javon Sampson across the street from Lane's clothing store on Chili Avenue last April.

Sampson was released from state prison in 2020 after serving time for a gun crime connected to a deadly shooting in 2014 on Lyell Avenue.

Lane will be sentenced next month.
