Kingston man pleads guilty in 2022 shooting at Esopus residence

KINGSTON - A Kingston man pleaded guilty to a felony assault charge Wednesday in connection with the non-fatal shooting of a woman in 2022.

The Ulster County District Attorney's office said Corey Marshall, 34, of Kingston, pleaded guilty to first-degree assault, a felony, before Ulster County Court Judge Bryan Rounds.

According to the district attorney's office, Marshall went to the victim's residence on Oct. 6, 2022 armed with a loaded handgun and wearing a mask. He fired several shots, striking the victim once in the hip, and then fled the scene.

A lengthy investigation by the detective division of the Ulster County Sheriff's Office led to Marshall's arrest.

No motive for the shooting was ever released.
