Jamie Fincher, a 35-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in Newburgh, New York, on the night of Saturday, September 19, 2020. Police responded about 11:14 p.m. to reports of shots fired near 332 Liberty Street and found Fincher lying in front of that address with multiple gunshot wounds. He was given life-saving measures, transported to a hospital, and pronounced dead there a short time later.

The City of Newburgh Police Department, the New York State Police Major Crimes unit, and the Orange County District Attorney’s Office handled the investigation. Initial community cooperation was limited, but investigators say their work led to an identified suspect. In July 2021 authorities arrested 31-year-old Joshua Williams of Newburgh and arraigned him on an indictment including Murder in the Second Degree, Manslaughter in the First Degree, multiple weapons charges, and Reckless Endangerment in the First Degree. Prosecutors allege Williams shot Fincher with a loaded firearm and acted with depraved indifference to others at the scene. Bail was set at $750,000 cash, a $2 million insurance bond, or a $3 million partially secured bond.
