Stephen Falise, 64, was killed on August 11, 2022, on his rural Scriba, New York, property. Deputies received a call around 4:48 p.m. reporting Coon on Falise’s property armed with a shotgun and driving a UTV. Reports of shots fired came in while officers were en route.

Investigators found Falise’s body in the field near his tractor. The report states Coon drove the UTV onto the property, encountered Falise on the tractor and allegedly shot him multiple times in the back. Coon was taken into custody, charged with murder in the second degree, arraigned in Oswego County CAP Court and remanded without bail. The family remembers Falise as a great listener who never knew a stranger.
