Rochester police are investigating the city’s 44th homicide of 2021. A city man in his 30s was found shot to death inside a house on Maryland Street on the West Side.
Captain Frank Umbrino told reporters said concerned family members went to the home when they couldn’t contact the man, and found him with multiple gunshot wounds. He’s been identified as 33-year-old Mark Smith.
Captain Umbrino said he wouldn’t speculate at why the man was at the house, which was not where he lived, but he said it was certainly a drug-related homicide.
