Authorities are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding his death, which occurred on the porch of a home on Lyell Avenue, near Cameron Street, in Rochester, New York.
Police were called to the scene around 7:30 a.m. after reports of a body found outside the residence. Upon arrival, they discovered Curtis Wilson deceased on the porch. Following an examination by the Medical Examiner’s Office, authorities confirmed that his death is being treated as a murder investigation. However, the exact cause of death has not yet been publicly released.
The Rochester Police Department suspects the incident may have originated from an argument that escalated tragically. At this time, no arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing.
The location where Curtis Wilson was found, a residence with several vacant apartments, is known to be frequented by homeless individuals and drug users. Police noted that the porch where the body was discovered is attached to one of the vacant units, which may have played a role in the circumstances of the incident.
