On the evening of May 22, 2025, 19-year-old Adam M. Darrah of Glens Falls, New York, was fatally shot on a rural stretch of Clay Hill Road in Fort Ann. He and a friend, 19-year-old Marcus J. Macaulay, were found in the roadway with life-threatening gunshot wounds by passersby at about 9:00 p.m. Both were transported to Glens Falls Hospital and were later pronounced dead.

Investigators quickly identified suspects. David M. Larose, 20, of Albany, was taken into custody in the early hours of May 23, 2025, and 18-year-old Jordan P. Johnson, also of Albany, was arrested later that evening. Both were charged with two counts of second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon; Johnson also faced a tampering with evidence charge over an alleged text instructing a woman to dispose of bullets and erase material from Larose’s phone. Court documents say the killings were believed to have occurred during an alleged robbery the suspects were carrying out.

Both men were held without bail at the Washington County jail. Does anyone have information about Adam’s movements that night or about activity on Clay Hill Road around 9:00 p.m. on May 22?
