A Rochester, New York, man said parts of his business were set on fire during riots following the death of a black man who died in police custody in March.

A local reporter, Charles Molineaux, took photos of the destruction of a business owned by Jesse Barksdale. It appeared that he put up a “Proud to be Black Owned” sign near his business, which appeared to have been ignored by rioters.
