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

On a summer night in 1993, 19-year-old Gregory Fickis 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 found out that one of the few cooperating witnesses they did have died,

suddenly, and under strange circumstances, it seemed like one more sign that the theory they

did have might be right. And they just need a little help from you to get this thing over the

finish line after three decades. I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is the deck.

Music I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is the deck. At around 10 p.m. on July 22nd, 1993, a man named David was driving through a bustling section of downtown Rochester, New York.

And that's when he saw something that stopped him in his tracks, two guys aggressively beating a young man as he lay on the sidewalk.

Per Sergeant Gus Venosa of the Rochester Police Department, David was one of multiple people to witness this attack.

There was a lot of people that were driving by.

This is on just north of Main Street, maybe about 30 yards, very busy area.

And people as they drove by, some stopped, others continued and then called.

But there were people that stopped, and when the suspects, as they were beating Greg,

they noticed people were stopping and they obviously didn't want to be identified and they took

off.

David did more than just stop.

He actually tried to chase the two assailants on foot,

but the sun had set about an hour before, so it was easy for the assailants to lose him

and disappear into the dark. When David then returned to the scene to check on the young

man who was unconscious on the ground, he saw that a state police car had already arrived.
