RPD investigating assault case on Rochester bike path
Jun. 13—ROCHESTER — Rochester police were dispatched on Friday morning, June 13, to a residence in southeast Rochester after a woman reported that a man struck her in the face multiple times and threatened to hurt her. The woman told police she was sleeping on a nearby bike path when the man started hitting her, according to a Rochester Police Department release. The reported incident happened shortly after 4 a.m., the release said. The woman broke free and ran to a nearby residence on the 600 block of 10 Ave. SE for help. The suspect was described as a short Black man, approximately 18 to 20 years old. He was wearing a blue sweatshirt and multicolored pants. The Rochester Police Department is investigating whether the suspect is the same individual who grabbed a woman on a bike path and began simulating sexual acts on June 8 . The woman was running on a trail near the 800 block of 16th Street SW. The suspect in that incident was described as a 6-foot-tall, thin Black man in his 20s. He was last seen wearing a Minnesota Twins beanie and red pants, RPD said. RPD said Sunday's incident is similar to an April 2025 report when a man inappropriately touched a female runner near the Soldiers Field area. The suspect described in the April 2025 incident matched the description of the man involved in Sunday's incident, police said. A previous incident occurred in June 2024 on the Douglas State Trail when two women reported separate sexual assaults while on the trail. In two separate incidents, two women reported having their backsides touched. If anyone has information about the suspect, RPD urges them to contact Detective Craig Jacobsen by calling the non-emergency number, 507-328-6800.

1 Software Stock with Competitive Advantages and 2 to Approach with Caution
From commerce to culture, software is digitizing every aspect of our lives. In the past, the undeniable tailwinds fueling SaaS companies led to lofty valuation multiples that made it easier to raise capital. But this was a double-edged sword as the high prices exposed them to big drawdowns, and unfortunately, the industry has tumbled by 8.8% over the last six months. This drop was disheartening since the S&P 500 stood firm. Investors should tread carefully as only some businesses are worthy of their valuations, and luckily for you, we started StockStory to help you find them.

Why Are We Out on RPD? Offerings struggled to generate meaningful interest as its average billings growth of 4.6% over the last year did not impress Estimated sales growth of 2.1% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its three-year trend Projected 2.5 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin next year reflects the company's plans to increase its investments to defend its market position Rapid7 is trading at $23.73 per share, or 1.8x forward price-to-sales.

‘It's like senior skip day': RPD, MCSO work together to introduce new safety measures at Charlotte Beach Park
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Monroe County leaders and law enforcement introduced an increased presence starting on Wednesday evening at Ontario Beach Park. Officers said they responded to Ontario Beach Park last Wednesday for disturbances breaking out in large crowds. That led to 19-year-old Deandre Leonard getting arrested for allegedly running around with a handgun. 'We can't allow that to happen again,' Captain Greg Bello said. On Tuesday, Rochester Police Captain Greg Bello announced that on Wednesday nights, which is the night of the weekly Concerts by the Shore, will begin having a huge increase of law enforcement personnel: including RPD's Special Events Detail and the Patrol Unit from the Department's Lake section, deputies from the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, and troopers from New York State Police. Teams will also be assigned from Monroe County Probation, Monroe County Security, and City of Rochester security. 'It's a great summer event that over 1,000 people go to,' Captain Bello said. 'We want to make sure that that's a safe event to go to.' Weather-dependent, RPD said it will implement its Tactical Unit and Traffic Enforcement Unit to 'conduct targeted, disorderly traffic safety, and all sorts of enforcement in the parking lots of the beach area.' Captain Bello said this is to target any groups 'before they're able to get into a point of creating mischief.' On Saturday evening, multiple roads were closed down in the Charlotte neighborhood near the beach. Fights spilled toward Lake Avenue in front of Tropix. Business owners have told News 8 that this has become a regular thing in the area. Rochester police, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, and New York State Police are meeting to plan for increased patrols in the area. First responders will also be working with the Rochester Transit Service to implement a special events detail. 'Our Staff Duty officer now has the authority to turn busses around,' Bello said. 'So if we have large groups of teens going to the beach in order to try to create problems at the beach, we're going to turn that bus around.' The Monroe Crime Analysis Center will also be used to monitor social media and different groups to target any events, fights, or chaos being planned at the beach. 'We're going to go after those that are that are trying to create chaos,' Bello said. At the end of the day, it's a family park.' Monroe County announced County Executive Adam Bello has worked with the President of the Monroe County Legislature to introduce a Capital Improvement Project. This would put gates at the parking lot of the beaches to monitor who is going in and out more effectively. 'This isn't something new. This has been going on for decades, and I think it's one of the really cornerstones of public safety in the county of Monroe,' a Monroe County Director said. Monroe County Sheriff's Office Deputy Brendan Hurley said these fights coincide with Senior Skip Day. 'These are juveniles,' Deputy Hurley said. 'These are teens going out and causing havoc. But like you saw last week, we arrested somebody with a gun, so that has the potential to get a lot worse. So that's why we're taking it serious, and we're going to try to nip it in the bud and stop it before anything gets too far in the name of safety.' When asked why this wasn't done a long time ago, Captain Bello said it has to do with resources. 'We don't have infinite resources,' he said. 'We have to prioritize as we go forward with what we're going after with our non fatal shooting team. We have to focus. And so we've had details up at the beach. There was a detail up at the beach last week that thankfully kept that from escalating any further. But what we've looked at is, okay, where's our most appropriate deployment of resources? And what we found is that we need to increase those resources at the beach, and that's what we're doing in response to that.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
