The City of Rochester coordinated a comprehensive, multi-departmental investigation into the tragic incident at the Main Street Armory on March 5, 2023, in which three people lost their lives.

The City’s Law Department, Police and Fire Departments, Department of Neighborhood and Business Development and Code Enforcement teams conducted an extensive investigation over several weeks. The teams completed numerous interviews and comprehensive inspections, and compiled the information for consideration by the Monroe County District Attorney’s Office.

Based on the information and evidence, both the RPD and DA’s Office determined that there is no basis for criminal charges in this case.

In light of the tragedy at the Armory, the City is reviewing its entertainment licensing procedures to identify and implement additional conditions that would increase safety and security for entertainment patrons in Rochester.
