June 11, 2024
On June 7, 2024, Nicholas Fiebka, 21, of Schenectady, was convicted by a jury after a trial in Schenectady County Court of two counts of Murder in the First Degree in connection with the death of William Horwedel and Alesia Wadsworth on November 21, 2022 in the Town of Princetown. Mr. Fiebka is the son of Alesia Wadsworth and was raised from the age of 3 by William Horwedel who was Ms. Wadsworth’s longtime companion. Mr. Horwedel left behind 3 sons, 2 of whom are members of the New York State Police, and the third is currently attending the NY State Police Academy.

On November 21, 2022, Mr. Fiebka entered his mother’s residence armed with an AK47 rifle which he had modified to hold an illegal drum magazine capable of holding 75 rounds of ammunition and a binary trigger device which discharged 2 rounds for every trigger pull. The investigation determined, from analysis of ring camera footage and evidence collected at the scene, that Mr. Fiebka was inside of the home for 32 seconds and discharged at least 44 rounds from his weapon.
Mr. Fiebka was taken into custody the next day in Schenectady by members of the Schenectady County Sheriff’s Street Crimes Task Force while he was on his way to turn himself in at the Schenectady Police Department.

At the trial, the defendant did not contest that he was the perpetrator of the crimes, instead he argued that he was not responsible by reason of mental disease or defect.
