BRIGHTON, N.Y. — Two brothers are set to be sentenced on Friday after leading police on a chase in a stolen car, which ended in a crash that killed a 92-year-old man in Brighton.
Theodice and Theophilus Parks both pleaded guilty to assault in the August 2024 crash. Rochester Police say Theodice, 17 at the time, drove the stolen Kia that crashed into a car driven by Thomas Chase at the corner of East Avenue and Elmwood Avenue. Chase, an Eastman School of Music graduate and avid volunteer, was returning from playing piano at a Brighton nursing home and died at the scene.
Theodice was originally charged with second-degree murder and aggravated vehicular homicide, but pleaded down to lesser charges. Both passengers, Theophilus Parks, 19 at the time, and another teen, were charged with assault.
Police say the car was speeding over 100 miles per hour. The chase started as part of an investigation into gunfire on Maria Street off Clifford Avenue in Rochester. Theodice Parks was arrested at least 12 times before the crash, accused of using stolen cars to break into businesses. He was on parole for burglary at the time.
The brothers could face between 10 and 25 years in prison. They’re currently in the Monroe County Jail and will be sentenced before a Monroe County Court judge.
