On November 19, 2016, Charles Dembrosky, 49, was found lying near a bush outside his Campbell Avenue home in the Bellevue neighborhood of Schenectady, New York, after a single gunshot. His death, first described as unexpected, was later ruled a homicide.

Investigators say the killing formed part of a plotted life insurance scheme. Prosecutors say contractor and friend Tarchand Lall took out a $150,000 policy on Dembrosky and falsely listed himself as Dembrosky’s domestic partner, then hired two men from Delaware, Joevany Moon Luna and Kyshaan Moore, paying them $10,000 to travel to Schenectady and carry out the shooting. Cell phone records and surveillance footage are reported to have tracked Luna and Moore to the area and to Lall’s residence, and prosecutors pointed to extensive phone contact between Lall and Luna in the days before the killing.

All three men were convicted: Luna was found guilty of first-degree murder, Moore of second-degree murder, and Lall of first-degree murder; Luna and Lall received life without parole while Moore received 25 years to life. Can anyone with knowledge of Dembrosky’s life or the Bellevue neighborhood around 2016 add details that might shed light on his final days?
