Police in Upstate New York announced the arrest of a man who allegedly is responsible for the murder of a family of four in Irondequoit.

“Julio Cesar Pimentel Soriano, who is originally from the Dominican Republic, has been in the Monroe County Jail since Saturday, Sept. 7, according to jail records,” WHEC reports.

According to reports, Soriano, 34, allegedly entered Puerto Rico illegally and obtained a fraudulent New York State ID, which allowed him to travel into mainland United States.

Police said Soriano allegedly is also wanted for a 2019 murder in the Dominican Republic.

The victims included a two-year-old and four-year-old.

“This was a horrific scene. In almost 32 years of doing this job, I have never seen anything like it,” said Irondequoit Police Chief Scott Peters.

WHEC reports:

Police have been investigating ever since first responders found the bodies of two children and their parents in the basement of a home on Knapp Avenue. Firefighters went to the home on Saturday, Aug. 31 after it caught on fire.

Irondequoit Police say Soriano entered Puerto Rico illegally and got a fake New York State ID, which allowed him to travel to mainland United States. Police say he is also wanted for a 2019 murder in the Dominican Republic. He was arraigned on four counts of first-degree murder in Irondequoit Town Court.

Police say they’re releasing little information at this time because they’re trying to find other people responsible for the murders.

“Limited information will be released at this time as this is an active investigation and we are still trying to locate additional individuals wanted in connection to this incident,” the Irondequoit Police Department said in a release.

Police identified the victims as Famime Ubaldo, 30; Marangely Moreno-Santiago, 26; Evangeline Ubaldo-Moreno, 4; and Sebastian Ubaldo-Moreno, 2. They moved into the home about two or three years ago, Peters said.

Peters said investigators were awaiting autopsy results and the medical examiner’s determination on the cause of death.

“Due to the condition of the bodies, it was readily apparent that this was going to be a homicide investigation,” Peters said.

Irondequoit Fire Chief Shane Metcalf said the cause of the fire is under investigation.
