The U.S. Marshals Service on Wednesday announced the arrest of a Dominican fugitive wanted for a 2024 quadruple murder in Irondequoit, New York, near Rochester.

Marshals nabbed the 31-year-old fugitive, Luis Francisco Soriano, in Puerto Rico, where he fled after allegedly killing four, including two children between the ages of 2 and 4, the USMS said in a press release.

“Without a doubt, this is an exceptional job by the Deputy U.S. Marshals of the U.S. Marshals Service, both nationally and internationally,” Wilmer Ocasio-Ibarra, U.S. Marshal for the District of Puerto Rico, said Wednesday. “It is truly worthy of recognition, and our communities should feel reassured knowing that this fugitive has been captured and will face justice.

“Every case is important to us, but this one not only deeply impacted our communities in New York and Puerto Rico, it shook our entire nation. The horrific nature of this crime, which resulted in the tragic death of a family, including two innocent children, rocked the very foundation of our society governed by law and order.”

He faces four counts of second-degree murder and drug charges in the United States.
