Ezra John Nunez, 32, was found dead from a gunshot wound in his second-floor apartment on Pittsford Palmyra Road in Perinton, New York, after deputies responded to a report of an unresponsive male at about 1:43 a.m. on May 27, 2026. Family described him as bright and positive; his death left parents, a brother, and a grandmother grieving.

Investigators treated the shooting as a targeted act and said robbery was the apparent motive. Surveillance review, witness interviews, and search warrants led to the identification of a suspect. On May 27, 35-year-old Tyree Ross-Simmons of Rochester was arrested and charged with second-degree murder; authorities described him as a predicate felon with prior felony convictions for drugs and weapons.

Further evidence uncovered an apparent robbery plot and inconsistent statements by at least one person, producing additional arrests on June 9, 2026. Destiny Cotto, 27, and JaQuez Riley-Hill, 20, both of Rochester, were charged with second-degree murder and first-degree robbery. All three are being held without bail as the case moves forward.

Does anyone have information about Nunez, the apartment complex on Pittsford Palmyra Road, or movements in Perinton the night of May 26–27 that could help investigators?
