In an effort to engage the public and develop information in assisting with major investigations, the Utica Police Department is starting a campaign to highlight open\/unsolved homicides in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will be an on-going series, but will begin this week with some of the more recent incidents, including Eugene Aviles, Molik Liggins, Mark Peak, Todd Rodgers and Theodore Talerico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Nov. 22, 2019, at approximately 7:50 p.m., Utica police were dispatched to the 1600 block of Miller Street regarding a report of gunshots. Almost immediately, other units came upon a vehicle that had pulled the side of the road on James Street near High Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Todd Rodgers, 33, of Utica, was found in that vehicle, having suffered a gunshot wound; he tragically succumbed to his injuries soon after arrival at St. Elizabeth\u2019s Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Utica Police Department Major Crimes Unit has continued an open dialogue with Rodgers\u2019 family and has been diligently investigating any lead that has come in. The investigation has progressed; however, we need assistance to bring the responsible parties to justice to solve Utica\u2019s only shooting homicide of 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police are looking for information on these cases in an effort to bring these cases to a successful resolution for the families, the community and the department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
