UPDATE: Rochester police say the first of yesterday's three shootings led to the arrest of a suspect in the January 14th homicide at the Lyell Avenue Burger King.
19-year-old Dashaun Tubbs was arrested yesterday on St. James Street, for last month's murder of Sideic Robinson, and the wounding yesterday of a 17-year-old.
Police Chief David Smith says Tubbs knew Robinson and the shooting was the result of disrespect.
The second shooting yesterday ended in the death of 15-year-old Suade McKnight on Alphonse Street.
While police and reporters were there, a man was apprehended with a 9-millimeter ghost gun.
The third shooting happened on Remington Street and critically wounded a 17-year-old.
