CHERRY CREEK, N.Y. — It was a crime that shocked the residents of Chautauqua County. Almost a year to the day after a well known local farmer was shot, a reward is being offered in hopes of finding the person or persons responsible.

At around 6 a.m. on October 1, 2019, Nelson Nobles was shot multiple times at his dairy farm on Rt. 83 in the Town of Cherry Creek. The incident shut down the Perry Central Schools for the day due to its proximity to the crime scene.
