One person was killed and two more injured when a Buffalo Sewer Authority vehicle was shot up while traveling on I-90 in the city of Buffalo.

New York State Police are seeking help from the public and hope someone has dash cam footage of the incident. Police say the suspect vehicle is a late model, dark colored Jeep Grand Cherokee. An occupant of the Jeep fired several rounds into the sewer authority vehicle injuring all three passengers.

It happened at around 11:20 a.m. on Thursday morning, police said.

A 22-year-old Buffalo man, Keyshawn Gault, who was a front seat passenger in the vehicle was fatally wounded. Police also say 30-year-old Myron Walker and 23-year-old Lamar Whitfield - both of Buffalo - suffered gunshot wounds.

Several law enforcement agencies continue to investigate the incident, including the NYSP Bureau of Criminal Investigation, Forensic Identification Unit, Buffalo Police Department, the Erie Crime Analysis Center and the Erie County District Attorney’s Office.

Anyone who may have information on the shooting or who has dash cam video is asked to call NYSP at 585-344-6200.

The Top 25 Most Baffling UFO Sightings Reported in New York This Year

When residents of the Empire State spot something unexplainable in the skies, they report it to the National UFO Reporting Center. There's been about 80 new sightings so far in 2023 that raised a few hackles.

NUFORC does investigate what people saw to determine if they actually witnessed alien activity or something else. Oftentime, these reports turn out to be false flags. For example; someone from NYC reported seeing a strange, square-like object in the sky on July 22. They provided a photo to NUFORC, who then ruled the person saw an "advertising banner behind a private aircraft."

However, there have been several creepy reports that couldn't be brushed off with a logical explanation. And some of these reports had photo or video evidence attached.

Scroll through New York's top 25 weirdest sightings of 2023.
