ROCHESTER, N.Y. — A man in his 20s was shot and killed on New Year’s Day on the city’s northwest side.
Rochester Police responded to Curtis Street near Santee Street around 1:30 a.m. and found 23-year-old Preston Papalia dead from at least one gunshot wound to the chest.
“Obviously, it’s not the way to start the New Year. But regardless of when it occurs, it’s not good. It’s tough,” said RPD Capt. Ryan Tauriello.
Police are still investigating but learned that Papalia was involved in some kind of argument in the street before gunfire broke out. No suspects are in custody. Anyone with information is asked to call 911.
