Federal and local authorities have announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of those responsible for the killing of 12-year-old Aliza Spencer, a case that remains unresolved more than three years after the fatal shooting in Binghamton, New York.
The reward was confirmed by Craig Tremaroli, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Albany Field Office, alongside Cory Minor, Assistant Chief of the Binghamton Police Department, as part of an intensified effort to generate new leads and re-engage public awareness in the case.
Aliza Spencer was killed on April 21, 2022, after being struck in the chest by a bullet while walking on a sidewalk near her home on Bigelow Street. She was with her father and brother at the time of the shooting. The incident occurred in a residential area, placing the event within a community setting where no direct confrontation involving the victim has been established.
Investigators have treated the case as a targeted or misdirected act of violence, with ongoing analysis focused on the origin of the gunfire, the trajectory of the shot, and the circumstances surrounding the discharge. The lack of resolution indicates that critical elements—such as witness cooperation, forensic linkage, or actionable intelligence—have not yet produced a prosecutable lead.
The Binghamton Police Department has maintained continuous investigative activity since the day of the incident, working through multiple angles, including neighborhood canvassing, ballistic analysis, and review of any available surveillance in the surrounding area. The involvement of the FBI has expanded the scope of resources available, including federal investigative support, intelligence coordination, and reward authorization.
Reward announcements of this scale are used to disrupt stalled investigations by incentivizing individuals who may have withheld information to come forward. In cases involving community-based violence, witnesses or individuals with indirect knowledge often play a decisive role in advancing the case. The reward structure is designed to shift that threshold.
Authorities have reiterated that the case remains active and solvable. The continued public appeal reflects the assessment that information exists within the community or among individuals with knowledge of the events leading up to or following the shooting.
The killing of a minor in a residential setting introduces broader public safety implications, reinforcing the impact of firearm-related incidents beyond intended targets. Cases of this nature often generate sustained investigative priority due to victim age, location, and circumstances of exposure.
Anyone with information related to the case is urged to contact federal or local law enforcement. Tips can be submitted through official FBI channels or directly to the Binghamton Police Department’s Detective Bureau. Information may be provided anonymously.
No arrests have been announced. The investigation remains ongoing.

I don’t remember hearing about this case. The life of this little girl was priceless but it is nice that this kind of money is being offered as a reward to help solve this. I hope someone does come forward and I hope it is discovered who is responsible for the death of this 12-year-old.
Thank you for this publication.

You’re absolutely right—the loss of a 12-year-old in a case like this carries real weight. I hope someone comes forward so the investigation can move toward answers and accountability.
Thank you again, Chris. I hope you have a great night. 😎
