Orange County resident, Carlos Rivera, age 49, of Newburgh, made the plea on Monday, May 2 for the murder which took place in New Windsor in December 2019.

During the incident, Chelsea Debidi, age 21, of Walden, was killed at the Knox Village Apartments in New Windsor at the home of her 20-year-old boyfriend’s family, said the Orange County District Attorney's Office.

The boyfriend was also shot and seriously injured, the DA's office said.

Rivera was charged along with Cornelius Stubbs, age 48, also of Newburgh, who allegedly was attempting to shoot his ex-girlfriend with whom he has a child and by mistake, Debidi was shot, officials said at the time of the event.
