Police said a 33-year-old Rochester man died at Rochester General Hospital Thursday night after being shot while driving a sport-utility vehicle at 30 Cleveland St. about 9:11 p.m.

Rochester police Capt. Ray Dearcop said the deceased, whose name was not released, was stopped at a red light at Hudson Avenue and Cleveland Street, heading west to Upper Falls Boulevard when a car pulled alongside and an unknown suspect or suspects exited the car, approached the SUV on foot and shot the driver at least once in the torso.

The suspect's car fled the scene and the injured man was able to drive west on Upper Falls Boulevard, where he crashed into a fence at Upper Falls and Thomas Street, Dearcop said.

From there, he was taken to Rochester General Hospital where he died at 9:38 p.m.

Dearcop said that no one is in custody in connection with the shooting and that the investigation is ongoing.
