On the early morning of March 17, 2016, Andre Dewayne Lee, born July 7, 1986, was shot several times on Germania Avenue in Schenectady and taken to Ellis Hospital, where he died of his wounds. He was 30. His death was the second fatal shooting on that street in 2016, and the killing left family and neighbors shaken.

Investigators identified a primary suspect early but were unable to take him into custody for years. In August 2023 a traffic stop in Middletown, Orange County, led to the arrest of Camare Williams after a warrants check linked him to Lee’s homicide. Williams was charged with second-degree murder, reckless endangerment, and multiple counts of criminal possession of a weapon. Prosecutors allege a motive tied to a prior dispute involving an attempted stabbing and shots fired into the home Williams shared with his girlfriend. Jury selection for the trial was scheduled for December 2024.
