Rochester Police Release New Details in Coventry Street Stabbing and Shooting Investigation


The Rochester Police Department has released additional information as investigators continue to examine a violent incident involving both a stabbing and a shooting at a home on Coventry Street.


Police said officers responded to the residence after receiving reports of a disturbance that escalated into serious violence. Upon arrival, officers discovered multiple victims suffering from traumatic injuries, including at least one person with stab wounds and another with gunshot injuries. Emergency medical crews transported the victims to a local hospital, where their conditions were assessed. Authorities have not yet released the identities of those involved.


According to investigators, the incident appears to have stemmed from a domestic or interpersonal dispute inside the home. Police indicated that all individuals involved were known to one another and emphasized that there is no ongoing threat to the general public.


Detectives are working to determine the sequence of events that led to both weapons being used during the altercation. Evidence was collected at the scene, and the area surrounding the home was temporarily secured while officers conducted interviews and forensic processing.


At this stage, no additional suspects are being sought, and charges have not yet been announced. Police said the investigation remains active and that more information will be released as it becomes available.


Residents in the Coventry Street neighborhood expressed concern following the incident, noting the heavy police presence and temporary street closures. Police officials encouraged anyone with additional information related to the case to come forward.


Anyone with tips is urged to contact the Rochester Police Department or submit information anonymously through Crime Stoppers.


The department reiterated its commitment to transparency and public safety as the investigation continues.
