A man seriously injured in a mass shooting at the Hudson Avenue Walmart in June has died of his injuries, and the Monroe County Medical Examiner has ruled the death of a woman beaten and robbed in at Mt. Read Boulevard motel a homicide. With that, police say Rochester has recorded its 52nd homicide of the year.
That ties the number for all of 2020.
No arrest has been made yet in the murder of Manuelito Rivera or the other man killed in the Walmart shooting. Two people have been arrested in the beating and robbery of Alicia Saladyga at the 490 Motel. Christopher Pate and Jennifer Shea fatally injured Saladyga during the robbery. They’re charged with assault and robbery, but the DA’s office is examining whether the charges will be upgraded.
