A Wellsville man who lives on County Road 18 is in the Steuben County Jail today without bail on charges of second-degree murder.
Steuben County Sheriff Jim Allard said on Saturday, deputies charged Bradly J. Maddalena, 24, of 1771 County Road 18b, Wellsville for the murder of Wayne E. Mosher, 57, of County Route 101, Woodhull.
Allard said on Saturday morning at 8:44 a.m., a call came in to the Steuben County 911 center and the caller allegedly said he “he had been in an altercation with another person on County Route 101 in Woodhull, and fatally shot that person.”
From there, deputies and investigators of the Steuben County Sheriff’s Office worked with the Steuben County Evidence Collection Team at the scene for 20 hours. Allard said investigators applied for — and received — multiple search warrants and conducted over a dozen interviews to gather all relevant information to reconstruct the incident.
The investigation revealed Maddalena allegedly intentionally caused the death of Mosher by the use of a firearm.
Deputies charged Maddalena was charged with second-degree murder, a Class A felony.
Maddalena was arraigned in the Centralized Arraignment Court and sent to the Steuben County Jail without bail.
Sheriff Allard said he would like to thank the Woodhull Volunteer Fire Department, the Steuben Emergency Management Office and the New York State Police for their assistance in this investigation.
