Rochester Man Indicted in Fatal Downtown Beating

A Rochester man has been indicted in the killing of a homeless city woman earlier this month.

31-year-old Tavontay Heygood-Session faces 2nd-degree murder.

Police say he beat and choked 46-year-old Karen Wargo to death at North Clinton Avenue and Pleasant Street on July 9th.

Heygood-Session was arrested the following night while checking out parked cars on East Main Street.

Heygood-Session has three prior felony convictions, including attempted arson for trying to set fire to a house with children inside.

His sentencing on that charge is pending.
