WFLA – Julio Cesar Pimentel Soriano, 34, was arrested Saturday in connection to the death of 30-year-old Fraime Ubaldo, 26-year-old Marangely Moreno-Santiago, 4-year-old Evangeline Ubaldo-Moreno, and 2-year-old Sebastian Ubaldo-Moreno.
A man from the Dominican Republic has been accused in the murder of a family of four found dead in a fire at their New York home last month.
The family’s bodies were found in a fire at their Knapp Avenue home in Irondequoit on August 31.
According to police, Soriano was one of the people “responsible for the heinous attack.” He was arraigned last week and is being held at the Monroe County Jail. Police did not elaborate on the role investigators believe he played or any specific charges against him.
Investigators said Soriano is wanted for a 2019 murder in the Dominican Republic.
He allegedly traveled to Puerto Rico illegally and got a fake New York ID, which he used to enter the U.S. mainland.
Police said they are currently working to find more people connected to this incident. They said they would release limited details due to the nature of the investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Irondequoit Police Department at (585)-336-6000
