Homicide detectives have arrested an illegal immigrant for the sickening murders of a couple and their two young children in a Rochester suburb.
Cops say emergency personnel arrived at an out-of-control blaze in Irondequoit around 5:23 a.m. on Aug. 31. In the basement of the home firefighters discovered four bodies.
Officers identified the victims as a couple and their toddlers: Marangely Moreno-Santiago, 32; Fraime Ubaldo, 30; Evangeline Ubaldo-Moreno, 4, and Sebastian Ubaldo-Moreno, 2.
Three of the family’s dogs were also killed in the blaze.
“Due to the nature of the scene, our processing took almost 2 full days,” officers wrote on Facebook. “Limited information was initially given out due to the need to inform family members that had to be located in other states.”
Charged with murder in what cops are calling “targeted” killings is Julio Cesar Pimentel-Soriano, 34. Originally from the Dominican Republic, he is wanted on the island for a 2019 murder.
After his arrest, investigators revealed that he allegedly used a sharp object to stab the victims to death with blows to the neck and chest, WHAM reports. The home was then set on fire to cover up the crime, police said.
So far, police have not revealed a motive but have indicated they are hunting more suspects.
It’s believed that Pimentel-Soriano slipped into the U.S. via Puerto Rico, where he obtained fraudulent identification for New York state, then travelled to the mainland. He has ties to the Rochester area.
“It’s two little children. They don’t know nothing. All they know what to do is play,” neighbour Samuel Rivera told WHEC. “To me, they look like a good family. They come out to the porch and do their little get together. They talk to me all the time. One day they invited my granddaughter for a birthday party.”
Ubaldo’s pal Tim Luckey added: [I’m] just having a hard time believing that this great kid that I knew and loved — for that matter, him and his family — being killed this way, was just unacceptable.”
Meanwhile, the worrying trend of migrant crime in the U.S. has now hit the billionaire’s playground of Nantucket off the coast of Massachusetts.
Cops say Salvadorian national Bryan Daniel Aldana-Arevalo, 28, has been charged over the “detestable and disturbing rape” of a 12-year-old child. He was arrested Sept. 10 for the alleged July 11 incident.
Aldana-Arevalo now faces one count of rape of a child with a 10-year age difference and two counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Boston Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) office said.
He pleaded not guilty and was released on bail on July 29.
“Bryan Daniel Aldana-Arevalo stands accused of some detestable and disturbing crimes against a Nantucket child,” ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd M. Lyons said.
According to the feds, it wasn’t clear where and when the illegal migrant entered the U.S.
His arrest comes in the wake of the sickening murder of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray in Houston. Two Venezuelan migrants, Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, and Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, were released into the U.S. despite being intercepted by border agents.
After it was revealed that the little girl was also raped, the pair were charged with capital murder. If convicted they face a possible death sentence.
