Parolee Indicted in 2 Rochester Homicides

A parolee with a felony record has been indicted in two separate Rochester homicides

31-year-old Christopher Williams faces 2 2nd-degree murder charges and 4 weapons counts.

He allegedly shot Marcus Bennett to death in a backyard on Sixth Street in July, and gunned down Kenneth Johnson last month on Roycroft Drive.

Both shootings happened during what police call 'altercations.'

Police say Williams repeatedly violated his parole from a 2015 arson conviction, and was allowed to stay out of jail after he cut off his ankle monitor in May.

He had allegedly cut off his ankle bracelet again, and was wanted on a warrant issued 11 days before the first killing.
