17-Year-Old Danyelisse Pabon-Cubero Dies Following Alphonse Street Shooting
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — A 17-year-old girl who was critically injured during a double shooting on Alphonse Street has died, Rochester Police confirmed.
The victim, identified as Danyelisse Pabon-Cubero, succumbed to her injuries on Sunday, May 5, nearly a week after the incident occurred.
The shooting took place in the early morning hours of Tuesday, April 30. Rochester Police Department officers responded to reports of gunfire at approximately 1:30 a.m. in the area of Alphonse Street.
Upon arrival, officers located two gunshot victims: Pabon-Cubero and an adult male in his 30s. Both had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
Emergency personnel rendered immediate aid and transported both victims to Strong Memorial Hospital.
While the male victim survived, Pabon-Cubero remained in critical condition until she passed away five days later.
Shortly after the shooting, investigators identified 18-year-old Michael Garcia as the primary suspect.
He was taken into custody later that same day during a lengthy SWAT operation in Brockport.
Two additional individuals were also detained during the operation, though their identities and involvement have not been disclosed.
Garcia was initially charged with assault in connection with the shooting.
However, with the death of Pabon-Cubero now confirmed, Rochester Police say his charges will be upgraded to second-degree murder.
Formal amendments to the charges are expected during his next court appearance.
The investigation remains ongoing, and anyone with information is asked to contact the Rochester Police Department’s Major Crimes Unit or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers.

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Mother’s Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.
Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.
Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.
Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the mother’s boyfriend.
Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.
Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
Police have not released additional information about potential charges against the suspect.
The investigation into the Chicago Austin neighborhood double shooting remains ongoing. Detectives are continuing to examine the circumstances that led to the shooting, the relationship between the people involved and the role of the two recovered firearms.
The deaths of Angela Johnson and DeAngelo Johnson are being investigated as a double homicide.
