Rochester Police Make Arrest In Connection with 2019 Murder

A woman being released from the Albion Correctional Facility today was arrested by Rochester police on charges of murder, robbery and kidnapping.

Police say 28-year-old Kimberly Jones killed 39-year-old Samuel Ortiz of Rochester, whose body was found last year in a Garage on Lakeview Park. She then allegedly fled to Florida. Ortiz's car was found set on fire in Brandon, Florida a couple of days later.

Video evidence was recovered showing Jones in possession of property belonging to Ortiz. She was picked up by police in Florida when they learned she had a warrant as a parole absconder from New York and she was extradited back to New York.
