The Leighton Avenue Killings (9, 10, Jack, and Queen of Hearts, New York)

Our cards this week are Michael Adams, Lachelle Powell, Michael Royal, and Jennifer Leasure, the 9, 10, Jack, and Queen of Hearts from New York.

In the dead of winter, a fire consumed a home in Rochester, New York — but what firefighters discovered inside wasn’t an accident. Four bodies, bound, shot, and left in a scene so brutal it stunned even experienced detectives. Nearly a decade later, with no arrests and few answers, the question still haunts everyone left behind: Who could commit such a massacre – and why?

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is offering a $15,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever killed Michael Adams, Lachelle “Peanut” Powell, Michael Royal, and Jennifer Leasure.

If you have any information, please contact Rochester PD’s major crimes unit at 585-428-7157 Rochester PD Contact or email them at MajorCrimes@CityOfRochester.gov. You can also call Crime Stoppers at 585-423-9300 or submit a tip online.
