Gregory Fickess (Jack of Diamonds, New York)

Our card this week is Gregory Fickess, the Jack of Diamonds from New York.

On a summer night in 1993, 19-year-old Gregory Fickess had just gotten out of his car in downtown Rochester when he was jumped in a seemingly unprovoked, fatal act of violence. A case with no motive and few cooperating witnesses is tough to get very far. But when detectives find out that one of the few cooperating witnesses they did have dies… suddenly… and under strange circumstances… it seems like one more sign that the theory they do have might be right. And they just need a little help from you getting this over the finish line after three decades.

If you know anything about the murder of Gregory Fickess, you can call the Rochester Police Department at 585-428-7033. If you prefer to leave an anonymous tip, you can call Rochester Area Crime Stoppers at 585-423-9300.
