Nassau County man indicted in St. Albans nightclub killing

Indictment announced

A Nassau County man was indicted on murder charges in the fatal shooting of a man at a nightclub in St. Albans, the district attorney said.

An indictment is a formal criminal charge. It starts or advances a criminal case but does not by itself establish that the accused person is guilty.

What is known about the case

The shooting was fatal, and the case involves two men: the Nassau County defendant and the man who was killed. The incident took place at a St. Albans nightclub.

The district attorney announced the murder indictment. The defendant’s name, the victim’s name, the date of the shooting and the specific counts were not included in the announcement cited here.

What happens next

The criminal case will proceed through the court process. The indictment allows the prosecution to pursue the murder charges against the defendant, while the defendant remains entitled to contest them in court.
