Rochester Man Convicted of Murder, Assault

A Monroe County Jury has found a 37-year-old Rochester man guilty of second degree murder, attempted murder and assault for the killing of David Oquendo and the attempted murder of a second man.

The Monroe County District Attorney's Office says Black Jewelz caused a disturbance at the downtown RTS Transit Center in October of 2019. RTS Security broke up the fight, but later that day police found David Oquendo stabbed on Bragdon Place outside the Transit Center...and another man stabbed half-a-block away on St. Paul Street. Oquendo died later at the hospital.

Police identified Jewelz as the suspect in all three incidents. He didn't know the victims. He'll be sentenced on April 6th.
