A neighborhood dispute in Cornwall, New York, ended in a fatal shooting on July 6, 2020. Forty-year-old Erick Gilmore was shot and killed around 11 p.m. by a neighbor, identified in reports as an off-duty Town of Ramapo police detective named Rob Fitzgerald. Investigators recovered a knife at the scene, and officials said Fitzgerald was not using his service weapon when the shooting occurred.

Gilmore had been arrested in March 2020 on charges of menacing a police officer, resisting arrest, and weapon possession. The New York State Police conducted the investigation, and the Orange County District Attorney’s Office said the matter would be presented to a grand jury to determine whether Fitzgerald’s use of force was justified.

Did anyone in Cornwall or who knew Erick have additional details about the night of July 6 or the events leading up to the dispute?
