On the evening of May 3, 2024, 54-year-old Jose Caraballo was shot in the torso during a dispute with a fellow tenant at an apartment building at 936 Avenue D in Rochester, New York. He was privately transported to Rochester General Hospital and pronounced dead about an hour after the shooting.

Authorities identified 21-year-old neighbor Cesar Manuel Soto-Roman as the suspect. Soto-Roman fled the area and was later located by the U.S. Marshals Violent Felony Fugitive Task Force and Rochester Police Department investigators at a residence in South Euclid, Ohio. He was arrested on June 3, 2024; a loaded 9mm handgun was recovered at the scene. Soto-Roman was being held in Cuyahoga County Jail and faced charges of second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, plus an outstanding warrant for criminal possession of a firearm from San Juan, Puerto Rico, with authorities coordinating extradition back to Rochester.

If anyone knew Jose Caraballo, lived at 936 Avenue D, or witnessed the events around May 3, please share any information that could help the investigation.
