Jeremy David May, a 46-year-old Caucasian man from Albany, was killed on the night of August 28, 2022, at the Motel Cambridge in Cambridge, New York. Police say the fatal encounter occurred at about 10:05 p.m. when a confrontation between May and Keith P. Libertucci ended with Libertucci allegedly shooting May in the chest with a shotgun. A motel resident reported hearing a loud boom and called police.

Authorities arrested Libertucci at the scene and charged him with manslaughter, citing a belief that the shooting may have resulted from reckless handling of the firearm rather than a premeditated act. He was arraigned and held on $25,000 bail and placed on administrative leave from his job as a custodian at Cambridge Central School. The Cambridge-Greenwich Police and the State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation were continuing the investigation and had not released a specific motive.

May was remembered as someone who enjoyed time with friends and family, fishing and outdoor barbecues, and who had a disability from his teens that limited some activities but did not diminish his reputation for being caring and helpful. Does anyone have information about what led to the confrontation that night?
