Police in Gates say the death of 18-year-old Victoria Brooks in a Rochester shooting touches that department….and they’re raising funds to help the family with funeral expenses and to provide for her remaining siblings.
Brooks worked at the Gates Dunkin Donuts store on Buffalo Road where many of the Gates officers get their coffee. Gates Police Chief James VanBrederode says the department is working with Gates Chili Community Connections to collect donations.
Checks should be made to Gates Chili Community Connections and can be left at Gates Police headquarters or the Dunkin Donuts at 1482 Buffalo Road.
