ROCHESTER — Police have identified the victim in a fatal shooting that took place in a shopping center parking lot Saturday afternoon.
Osbel Ornelas, 24, of Rochester, was shot in the head after he got into a road-rage related fight with two brothers, 20-year-old Isaac Gutierrez and 26-year-old Jose Gutierrez-Ojeda, shortly after 2 p.m. Saturday.
Police spokeswoman Amanda Grayson said Monday that Ornelas and the suspects had been driving around Crossroads Shopping Center when they parked their cars and got into an fight.
Grayson said witnesses told police the fight escalated after Gutierrez-Ojeda racked a handgun — preparing it to fire a round — and put it inside his car. Surveillance video showed Isaac Gutierrez took the gun and shot Ornelas in the head, according to Grayson.
Both suspects remained at the scene and were taken into custody on second-degree murder and second-degree assault charges.
Ornelas was taken to St. Marys Hospital. He died shortly after he arrived.
