Rochester police are investigating the shooting death of a man in southwest Rochester, which marked Wednesday's second homicide.
The latest fatal shooting occurred about 8:35 p.m. on Tremont Street, near Jefferson Avenue. Emergency responders were called to 468 Tremont St. and found Kenyada Peterkin, 42, on the front porch with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper and lower body, said Capt. Frank Umbrino of the Rochester Police Department.
Peterkin, who lived at 468 Tremont, was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital where he died from his injuries shortly after he arrived, Umbrino said.
Witnesses told police that they heard an argument outside, followed by gunshots.
His death marked Rochester's 39th homicide of 2023 and was the second of the day on Wednesday. Less than 10 hours earlier, a 49-year-old man was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting at Beechwood Street and Hayward Avenue in Rochester's Beechwood neighborhood.
Also on Wednesday night, a 23-year-old Rochester man was shot on Angle Street, just north of Lyell Avenue, just after 9 p.m., according to Rochester police. He was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital for treatment of injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
No charges have been filed in connection with either homicide.
