Two arrested in deadly triple shooting that claimed one life

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Two murder suspects were nabbed in a drug house Thursday night off of Monroe Avenue.

Nasezire Horton and Quentin Riviere, both 21, are accused of shooting three teens on Hazelwood Terrace near Denver Street on Monday afternoon. They were arraigned on several charges Friday morning in Rochester City Court to which they pleaded not guilty. They will be back in court next Wednesday.

Rochester Police say the pair intentionally shot at a boy around 5 p.m. He was hit, as well as another boy, and 19-year-old Rukia Isaack, who died. The boys are 15 and 16.

Police quickly determined this was a targeted shooting. Their investigation led them to what they describe as a drug house on Edmonds Street.

“Whenever you have guns and drugs together its a problem, its something that Rochester has been dealing with for many years, this year in particular,” Monroe County Assistant District Attorney Perry Duckles said.

News10NBC’s Eriketa Cost spoke with the mother of one of the teen boys who are recovering in the hospital, and also obtained court paperwork detailing a hefty criminal history for both suspects.

Horton and Riviere were taken into custody at a home on Edmonds Street by the SWAT team and Tactical Unit. Police raided the house and say they found marijuana and over 150 packets of crack cocaine ready for sale. They say the house was being used to sell both drugs. Police were able to track their ankle monitors.

Police also believe the pair are responsible for other shootings in Rochester. That’s why they’ve released their photos. Anyone who has information should call the Major Crimes Unit at (585) 428-7157 or email MajorCrimes@cityofrochester.gov.
