On May 29, 2022, 42-year-old Orlando Santiago was fatally shot while driving on Hudson Avenue in Rochester, New York. The shooting was described as a drive-by; Santiago was pronounced dead at the scene. He was a husband, son, brother and friend who enjoyed working on cars and spending time outdoors.

Investigators linked the killing to a prior 2019 incident in which Santiago, then working as a security guard, fatally shot Bradley Thomas at the Cedarwood Towers apartments. The Monroe County District Attorney’s Office had ruled that 2019 shooting a justifiable homicide. Authorities say the connection suggested a motive of revenge.

On June 29, 2022, police announced the arrest of 31-year-old Timothy Thomas, identified as Bradley Thomas’s brother; investigators alleged he shot Santiago as their vehicles passed on Hudson Avenue and sought a grey 2005 Chevy Tahoe believed used in the crime. Does anyone have information about that vehicle or the events on Hudson Avenue that day?
