Niagara Falls police are actively searching for 31-year-old Brandon Fitzgerald, who remains at large and is wanted for second-degree murder. The investigation stems from an incident that occurred on the evening of September 17, when officers responded to a business on Lundy’s Lane in Niagara Falls, New York, following reports of an assault. Upon arrival, investigators discovered a man who had been severely injured. Despite life-saving efforts by Niagara paramedics, the victim was transported to a local hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries on September 21. The victim has been identified as 37-year-old Matthew McAra. Authorities determined that McAra was assaulted by two suspects who fled the scene. A manhunt ensued with assistance from the police canine unit, leading to the arrest of the second suspect. Alexander Piccirillo, 46, was taken into custody on Tuesday afternoon and charged with second-degree murder. However, Fitzgerald remains the primary subject of the ongoing manhunt. Homicide investigators are urging residents and business owners in the vicinity of Lundy’s Lane and Hanan Avenue to review any video surveillance footage that may capture the suspects or their movements. Police emphasize the urgency of locating Fitzgerald to ensure public safety.
