Julio Cesar Pimentel Soriano, a 34-year-old illegal immigrant, has been charged with the brutal murder of a family of four in Irondequoit, New York, near Rochester. Pimentel Soriano, wanted for a 2019 murder in the Dominican Republic, illegally entered the U.S. via Puerto Rico using a fraudulent ID. Authorities arrested him on Saturday after the grisly murder of Fraime Ubaldo, 30, Marangely Moreno-Santiago, 26, and their two young children, Evangeline, 4, and Sebastian, 2, on August 31.
Irondequoit Police Chief Scott Peters describes the horrifying scene of the slain family of 4 who were m*rdered in their home by an illegal from the Dominican Republic.

Journalist Bob Lonsberry commented on the tragic incident, linking the murders to the ongoing national debate over illegal immigration, stating, “Illegal immigration isn’t about dead cats in Ohio, it’s about dead Americans all across our country.” Authorities continue to investigate, as the community reels from the senseless killing of the Ubaldo-Moreno family.
