On November 17, 2019, 20-year-old Joshua R. Morgan of Frankfort, New York, died after being accidentally shot while with a hunting party in woods north of State Route 5S. Emergency services responded but Joshua was pronounced dead at the scene about 8:30 a.m.

Joshua Robert Morgan was born June 19, 1999, in New Hartford. A 2018 graduate of Frankfort-Schuyler High School, he had taken construction courses and played football, track, and baseball. He worked in the flooring department at Lowe’s in New Hartford and had plans to pursue a career as a Correctional Officer after turning 21. Investigators from the New York State Police, New York State Environmental Police and local departments concluded the shooting was accidental, found no signs of foul play, and no criminal charges were filed.

If anyone was part of that hunting party or knew Joshua, does anyone have memories to share or information about that morning?
