On a crisp autumn morning, the life of 42-year-old Brian S. Bizallion was cut short in what authorities have described as a fatal hunting incident. The male hunter from Savannah, New York, was in the woods of his hometown on Saturday, November 18, 2023, when he sustained a fatal gunshot wound. The tragic event unfolded in the rural landscape near Cotten Road and Route 89.
Emergency services were dispatched to the scene shortly after 7:00 a.m. following a report of a hunter being shot.
Upon their arrival, first responders discovered Bizallion had been fatally wounded during the hunting excursion. The Wayne County Sheriff's Office, assisted by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Police, immediately launched an active investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
In the days following the incident, the Wayne County Sheriff, Rob Milby, publicly identified Brian Bizallion as the victim. While the investigation was confirmed to be ongoing, authorities have not released further details regarding the specifics of how the shooting occurred. As of late 2025, there has been no public announcement of any arrests made in connection with the death, nor have any suspects or persons of interest been officially named. The case remains an open investigation as law enforcement continues to piece together the events that led to the untimely death of Brian S. Bizallion.
