IRONDEQUOIT, N.Y. — Closing arguments are expected on Monday in the trial of two brothers accused of murdering an Irondequoit family of four.
The trial for brothers Luis Soriano and Julio Soriano is entering its fifth week. The brothers are accused of killing the family in August 2024 in the basement of their home on Knapp Avenue, then setting the home on fire. Prosecutors say the brothers killed two children — Evangeline Ubaldo-Moreno, 4, and Sebastian Ubaldo-Moreno, 2 — along with the children’s father, Fraime Ubaldo, 30, and mother, Marangely Moreno-Santiago, 26.
Prosecutors have argued that the brothers killed the family in retribution over a missing package of drugs delivered from Puerto Rico to Rochester. The prosecution team said Luis Soriano believed that Fraime, his cousin, stole the package of drugs. However, the defense presented the theory that Marangely and the man who she was cheating on Fraime with worked together to steal the cocaine and planned to flee together.
During the trial, jurors heard from the first officer at the scene, a former coworker of Luis Soriano, Irondequoit Police investigators, and experts. They also saw messages between Fraime, Marangely, and the Soriano brothers, retrieved through iCloud backup.
The brothers are on trial together, but have two separate juries. They face multiple charges, including first-degree murder, arson, kidnapping, and burglary. Wayne County District Attorney Christine Callanan is the special prosecutor in the case.
Investigators arrested Julio Soriano a week after the killings. His brother was arrested in June of 2025 after a months-long search for him. U.S. Marshals say Luis Soriano fled to Puerto Rico after the killings, then traveled to the Dominican Republic, where he was arrested.
