Man turns himself in after fatal collision around Lyell Avenue

ROCHESTER, NY – A man has turned himself in after a fatal crash at the intersection of Lyell Avenue and Broad Street earlier this month.

Rochester police say Vincent Moore, 21, struck and killed a man who was walking down the street the night of Wednesday, Oct. 2. Officers say Moore called 911 but drove to his Alphonse Street home before first responders arrived on the scene. By the time police arrived, 37-year-old Hanif Moffett was dead.

Officers eventually located Moore and spoke with him, finding no evidence of impairment or intoxication. RPD says Moore cooperated with the investigation and turned himself in to detectives at the Public Safety Building on Thursday. He is accused of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death and performing serious unlicensed surgery.

Moore was taken to the Monroe County Jail and will be arraigned in Rochester District Court on Friday.
