Ulster County resident Jacob Jackson, age 24, of Rosendale, pleaded guilty to manslaughter on Tuesday, Nov. 14, for the shooting death of Myron Moye, age 36, of Kingston, said Ulster County District Attorney David Clegg.
On Friday, Nov. 1, 2019, three men wearing masks and gloves broke into Moye's home, tied up occupants, and then stabbed, shot, and killed the victim and fled, Clegg said.
Jackson was identified as one of the perpetrators through a two-year investigation led by Kingston Police Detective Benny Reyes.
The investigation, which employed over 100 search warrants involving cell phones, Facebook, and Google, led to Jacob Jackson and Christopher Jackson, no relation.
