IRONDEQUOIT, N.Y. — A homicide investigation is underway after crews found two adults and two children dead inside an Irondequoit home after battling a fire there.
Irondequoit Police Chief Scott Peters made the announcement at a news conference on Monday.
“This was a horrific scene, in almost 13 years of doing this job, I’ve never seen anything like it,” Peters said.
Crews responded to the house fire on Knapp Avenue at 5:30 on Saturday morning and quickly controlled the flames. In the basement, they found the bodies of a 2-year-old boy — Sebastian Ubaldo-Moreno — and 4-year-old girl — Evangeline Ubaldo-Moreno. They also found a 30-year-old man — Fraime Ubaldo — and a 26-year-old woman — Marangely Moreno-Santiago.
“Due to the condition of the bodies, it was readily apparent that this was going to be a homicide investigation,” Peters said.
Irondequoit Police and fire crews went room-by-room for almost two days collecting evidence, searching for answers as to who killed the four people.
“When you murder innocent children, there’s no excuse for that,” Peters said.
After identifying the bodies, officials worked to track down family members from other states.
I’m confused at lack of details is this a murder suicide or something more sinister like a drug cartel message being sent?
Link?
There was something posted on “X” the other night by someone (can’t remember who right now) that mentioned the horrific way these poor people were murdered. I did not want to believe what I read. But now the comment by Chief Peters seem to confirm it. I simply cannot understand how anyone could have so much evil inside of them to do such a terrible thing to others.
Is the public safe? Was this a random act? I know those not much info out yet, but few tidbits I’ve heard sound awful.
