Written by on January 30, 2025

Rochester police are investigating a homicide after a man in his 40s was found shot dead in a crashed, burning pickup truck on Coulton Place late Wednesday night. Officers responded just before 11 p.m. to reports of a crash and vehicle fire, discovering the driver with at least one gunshot wound to the upper body. The victim’s name has not been released pending family notification.

According to investigators, the man was likely shot while inside his truck further down the road, causing him to lose control and crash into a parked vehicle. The rear wheels of the pickup were on fire when officers arrived, though no one was inside the parked vehicle.

The Rochester Police Department’s Command Van was called to the scene, a standard procedure for homicide investigations. Authorities have not identified any suspects or persons of interest at this time. Police are urging anyone with information to call 911 as the investigation continues.
