Man accused of killing Irondequoit family of four appears before judge for motion hearing
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The man accused of killing an Irondequoit family of four and setting their house on fire stood before a judge on Thursday morning.
Julio Pimentel Soriano was in Monroe County Court for a standard motion hearing, as both sides continue to build their case ahead of a trial. He is being held in jail without bail, facing more than a dozen charges, including first-degree murder, burglary, kidnapping, and arson.
Police say he and his brother, Louis Francisco Soriano, killed the family in their home on Knapp Avenue on Aug. 31. Louis Francisco Soriano hasn’t been caught yet and police believe the 31-year-old, originally from the Dominican Republic, fled to Puerto Rico.
The brothers are accused of killing 4-year-old Evangeline Ubaldo-Moreno and 2-year-old Sebastian Ubaldo-Moreno, along with their parents, 30-year-old Fraime Ubaldo and 26-year-old Marangely Moreno-Santiago. Police have been investigating ever since finding bodies in the basement of the home when responding to the fire.
The U.S. Marshals Service of Puerto Rico is still searching for Luis Francisco Soriano and is asking anyone with information to call their office at (787)-766-6297. You can also submit a tip online.
