US Marshals arrest a Dominican man sought in last year’s killing of 4 people

The U.S. Marshals Service has arrested a 31-year-old Dominican man suspected in a quadruple homicide in New York in which two of the victims were children, ages 2 and 4, officials said.

Luis Francisco Soriano — also known as Jefry Yevo — had been wanted by the Irondequoit, New York, Police Department on four charges of second-degree murder and charges of narcotics stemming from a suspected quadruple homicide Aug. 31, 2024, near Rochester, New York, according to a statement from the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS).

Soriano was added to the U.S. Marshals Service District of Puerto Rico’s Top 10 Most Wanted fugitives list in September 2024.

“Investigations conducted by the USMS in Puerto Rico, in collaboration with the USMS New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force, revealed that Soriano fled by boat to the Dominican Republic after becoming aware of the presence of federal marshals on the island,” officials said.

Soriano had originally fled to Puerto Rico after the killings but then jumped on a boat to his native Dominican Republic after becoming aware that federal marshals were in the U.S. territory, authorities said.

U.S. Marshals said it worked with Dominican authorities to arrest 31-year-old Soriano “without incident after he completed his shift at the hotel’s call center.”
