Rochester Police Arrest 18-Year-Old Michael Garcia in Connection with Double Shooting on Alphonse Street
On April 30, 2025, just after midnight, Rochester Police responded to a ShotSpotter activation and subsequent 911 call reporting gunfire in the area of Alphonse and Thomas Streets.
Upon arrival, officers located two gunshot victims: a man in his 30s and a 17-year-old female identified as Danyelisse.
The male victim was found on the front porch of 17 Alphonse Street, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Inside the first floor of the residence, officers discovered the teenage girl with at least one gunshot wound to her upper body.
Both victims were transported by AMR to the University of Rochester Medical Center. While the man is expected to survive, the 17-year-old remains in critical, life-threatening condition.
Given the seriousness of the incident, the Rochester Police Departmentโs Major Crimes Section and Homicide Unit were immediately called to the scene.
Officers at the location obtained a description of a suspect vehicle believed to have fled the scene.
A county-wide BOLO (Be On the Lookout) was issued, and a Village of Brockport Police officer, recalling a recent encounter with a similar vehicle, located it parked near a residence on North Main Street in Brockport.
In collaboration with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, officers stopped several individuals leaving the apartment.
RPD detectives subsequently secured a search warrant for the residence, which was executed by the RPD SWAT team.
Several persons of interest were found inside, and investigators recovered evidence directly linked to the Alphonse Street shooting.
Following nearly 24 hours of continuous investigation, RPD charged 18-year-old Michael Garcia of Rochester with the following offenses:
- Attempted Murder (1 count)
- Assault in the First Degree (1 count)
- Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree (2 counts)
Garcia was taken into custody at the Brockport residence and is scheduled to be arraigned in Rochester City Court on Thursday, May 1, 2025, at 9:30 a.m.
According to investigators, Garcia and several others went to the Alphonse Street residence to retaliate for a previous dispute involving one of Garciaโs associates and an individual linked to the household.
During the confrontation, Garcia allegedly shot the male victim outside the home.
The 17-year-old female, who was inside at the time, was struck by a stray round during the gunfire.
The investigation remains active, and detectives are evaluating potential charges against additional individuals involved.
Anyone with information or relevant video footage is encouraged to contact the Rochester Police Departmentโs Homicide Unit at 585-428-7157, Crime Stoppers at 585-423-9300, or email MajorCrimes@cityofrochester.gov.
The rapid arrest of Michael Garcia was the result of coordinated efforts among multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Village of Brockport Police Department, Monroe County Sheriffโs Office, RPD SWAT and Tactical Units, RPD Patrol Division, and the Major Crimes Section Homicide Unit.
