By Alexa Herrera, Kristie Keleshian Updated on: May 3, 2026 / 8:08 PM EDT / CBS New York Add CBS News on Google Several people were arrested when a large crowd gathered outside a Brooklyn hospital on Saturday night after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained a man, according to the NYPD.A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said Chidozie Wilson Okeke, who was detained, has been in the United States since 2023 after overstaying his visa.

Irondequoit Police have announced an arrest in connection to the fire that killed four people last month. According to police, Julio Cesar Pimentel Soriano, 34, originally from the Dominican Republic, was arrested on Saturday. He is charged with four counts of murder in the second degree, and police say that they are still looking for others involved.

"I don't think this was something random that happened," said Monroe County Assistant District Attorney Perry Duckles. "I can tell you that I do think that there is a motive, though what that motive is, we're still looking into it." Police say that Soriano is wanted for murder in his home country and traveled to the U.S. illegally through Puerto Rico with a fake New York ID. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is assisting Irondequoit Police as needed.
