Rochester police have an arrest in the first homicide in the city in 2026.
They say they found the body of 57-year-old Maria Benitez on Tuesday inside an apartment on Saint Paul Street, near the Inner Loop.
47-year-old Jose Davila allegedly beat Benitez to death last week, then concealed her body inside the apartment.
Investigators believe Davila had been staying with Benitez for up to several weeks.
He'll be arraigned on 2nd-degree murder this morning.
