Roger "Unkle Rog" McCall (2 of Spades, New York)

Our card this week is Roger "Unkle Rog" McCall, the 2 of Spades from New York.

If you lived in the Rochester area back in the day, you might recognize the smooth voice of “Unkle Rog.” As a late-night radio host and DJ at WCMF for almost 30 years, perhaps he kept you company past midnight, maybe helped you stay awake during a third shift. By 52, Roger had already survived a terminal cancer diagnosis, only to be gunned down on December 12th, 2003, in what, at first, seemed to be a random act of violence. But a potential witness in the case has raised the possibility that his murder may’ve been more personal than previously assumed.

  • If you have any information about the murder of Roger McCall on December 12th, 2003, detectives want to hear from you. Although we were asked to use pseudonyms for persons of interest in this episode, if any of the details or storylines sounded familiar to you, or if you can corroborate “Dan’s” statement about what he said he saw that night, please reach out. You can remain anonymous by contacting Rochester Crime Stoppers at (585) 423-9300 or by submitting a tip online.
  • To contact the Rochester PD’s Major Crimes Unit directly, you can call them at (585) 428-7157 or email them at MajorCrimes@CityOfRochester.gov.
