Update (10/16/25): 

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office is actively working with the United States Postal Inspectors and other federal partners as the investigation into this incident continues.

Preliminary evidence indicates the victim was seated in his personal vehicle when the suspect opened fire, striking both the victim and the vehicle. The suspect then left in their vehicle prior to deputies arriving.

Reports of a home in Pittsford being involved and the victim returned fire are inaccurate based on the evidence we have at this time.

As this is a joint investigation, we will share additional details as they become available and are confirmed.

At this time, evidence indicates there is no ongoing threat to public safety.

MCSO understands incidents such as this cause concern and fear for our community members. We will continue to work closely with our partners to ensure those responsible for this incident are held accountable.
