Greece, N.Y. — Three juveniles and a 22-year-old man are facing charges after shots were fired into a home early Sunday morning, according to the Greece Police Department.
Officers responded just after 1 a.m. to a home on Castleford Road that was struck by gunfire while several people were inside, police said. No injuries were reported.
Using residential surveillance cameras and license plate readers, officers identified a vehicle involved that was reported stolen in Penfield, according to police.
On Monday, Rochester police officers found the suspect vehicle unoccupied on Kondolf Street, police said. Greece officers surveilled the car and later tried to pull its driver over, prompting a pursuit that ended on Cameron Street in Rochester, where a 16-year-old suspect from Rochester was arrested following a brief foot chase.
On Tuesday, police said investigators identified a second vehicle connected to the shots fired incident. That vehicle was pulled over during a coordinated traffic stop between Greece and Rochester officers, resulting in the arrest of several suspects.
Later in the day, a Greece police SWAT team executed a search warrant at a home and several vehicles tied to the incident and found a ghost gun that police believe was used in the shooting.
Police said the 16-year-old suspect and two other teens — ages 15 and 17 — have each been charged with:
- Two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon
- Third-degree criminal possession of a weapon
- First-degree reckless endangerment
- Prohibited use of a weapon
A fourth suspect, Jose Ortiz, 22, of Rochester, is charged with:
- Second-degree criminal possession of a weapon
- First-degree reckless endangerment
- Prohibited use of a weapon
Police said the juvenile suspects “were held in secure detention.” Ortiz was taken to Monroe County Jail and arraigned in CAP court.
