Man Accused of Killing Young Musician | Rochester News

A chilling murder case in Rochester centers on Milton Simmons, 43, accused of fatally shooting 22-year-old Munga Elocho on August 16. Prosecutors say Simmons tried to conceal the body in a tote and even attempted to burn it near the Genesee River Trail. After skipping his arraignment, a warrant was issued, and he was arrested on September 8 with a Glock and crack cocaine — adding new charges. The victim’s family, who described Elocho as beloved, musical, and deeply involved in his church, attended court seeking justice. With a 20-year criminal history, Simmons faces mounting pressure as prosecutors call the arrest unexpected. His next court date is Friday, and the grieving family vows to be there — hoping for closure, even if they know their brother won’t return.
