17-year-old Chariel Osorio passed away Thursday, a week after being shot at a party in downtown Syracuse. The Police Department has a few suspects, and believes it was a multiple-shooter, gang-related incident. Various social media posts suggest the organizers of the party told the police the gathering was a Black Live’s Matter rally.
Mayor Ben Walsh and Police Chief Kenton Buckner discussed the racial tensions within Syracuse's police department and the future of the Christopher Columbus statue downtown.
