ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Rochester police say they have arrested the man who shot and killed Ali Saleh, 30, Sunday evening as Saleh worked behind the counter at Sana’a Food Market at the intersection of Clifford Avenue and Miller Street. Police say Tony C. Brown, 42, approached Saleh at aroun d 6 pm and shot him multiple times at close range, possibly in retaliation for an altercation that occurred at the store several days prior involving an associate of Saleh’s. Brown then fled the scene, according to police, while Saleh was rushed to the hospital via ambulance and later died. Investigators say Brown’s vehicle was later spotted around Portland Avenue and that’s where they arrested Brown, who has since been charged with Murder 2nd Degree and Criminal Possession of a Weapon 2nd Degree. Monday morning, Jose Perez was seen shuffling up to Sana’a Food Market assuming it was closed but wanted to be sure. It’s a stop he’s made regularly for decades and often encountered Saleh. “Nice young fella, he got along with everybody,” Perez said. “It’s just a shame.” Angel Vazquez stopped by the store while News 8 was there so he could relay that in the years Saleh had worked at Sana’a Vazquez had never seen him disrespectful with a single customer. “I knew him since I was a kid. He was a good guy, always looking out for the community, any time you needed something for your family, he’d look out for you,” Vazquez said. “It’s kind of messed up, man.” Vazquez says Saleh had just returned to Rochester after living abroad for almost a year. Investigators say a search warrant on Brown’s car and a nearby home turned up a .357 caliber handgun and other evidence linked to the murder. Brown is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday morning. ...read more read less
