An Albany man faces 16 felony charges — two of them labeled hate crimes — following a shooting Tuesday afternoon in Gloversville, police announced Wednesday.

Nobody was injured, police said.

Police were called at 2:32 p.m. to Sixth Avenue, between Helwig Street and Kingsboro Avenue, to talk with witnesses who said that Alexander A. Capps, Jr., 28, had been involved in a domestic dispute and fired a handgun at several people and a home.

No people were hit, but the house was.

“The situation involved me and my family,” said Jordan Miller, sitting outside the house on Tuesday. “It’s been dealt with.”

Capps left the area in a vehicle, which police found at his home in Albany, where Albany city police and state police arrested him.

Capps was charged with:

“Mr. Capps Jr. committed the noted hate crime offenses, in substantial part, due to the race of one of the victims,” Gloversville Police Chief Mike Garavelli said in an email.

Under state penal code, a hate crime exists when the suspect selects the victim or commits the act based on the race, color, national origin, ancestry, gender, gender identity or expression, religion, religious practice, age, disability or sexual orientation of a person, regardless of whether the belief is correct.

Hate crimes are prosecuted as one level more serious, so a Class D felony, such as first-degree reckless endangerment, would be treated as a Class C felony.

Capps was arraigned in Gloversville City Court and sent to the Fulton County Correctional Facility on $25,000 bail or $150,000 bond.

Gloversville police were helped by state police, Albany, Colonie, Johnstown and Canajoharie police, the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, the Capital Region Crime Analysis Center and the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office.

The investigation continues. People with information can contact Detective C. Pescetti at cpescetti@gpd.fulton.ny.us or 518-773-4513.

Body camera footage shows correction officers beating a handcuffed man, Robert Brooks, at the Marcy Correctional Facility in Oneida County, Dec. 9.

UTICA (AP) — A jury began deliberating Wednesday in the trial of three former New York state corrections officers charged in the fatal beating of an inmate that was captured on bodycam video.

Lawyers spent most of the day delivering closing arguments in a Utica court in the trial of Mathew Galliher, Nicholas Kieffer and David Kingsley, who face charges of murder and first-degree manslaughter in the death of Robert Brooks. The 43-year-old man was beaten by multiple guards upon his arrival at the Marcy Correctional Facility on Dec. 9. Five officers indicted in February have previously pleaded guilty to manslaughter in Brooks’ death under plea deals.

Defense lawyers told the jury their clients were not among the guards who struck Brooks and that they made quick decisions in a chaotic situation that night.

“Just because corrections officers wear the same uniform, doesn’t mean they’re part of the same gang. It doesn’t mean they have the same motivations, the same knowledge or the........
