WEST SENECA, N.Y. — A West Seneca man has been indicted following a fatal stabbing on Edson Street last month.
Jairus Kedzierski, 24, of West Seneca was arraigned Thursday morning on one count of murder in the second degree (class "A-I" felony) and one count of attempted sexual abuse in the first degree, a class E felony.
Prosecutors allege Kedzierski stabbed a victim multiple times around 11:40 p.m. on July 29. Maurice Kidd, Jr., 29, was taken to ECMC in an ambulance and was pronounced dead at the hospital.
A fight allegedly followed the stabbing, according to the District Attorney's Office, which added that it came after "an allegation that the defendant attempted to sexually abuse a female victim earlier that evening."
If convicted of all charges, Kedzierski faces a maximum sentence of up to 29 years in prison. He is scheduled to return to court on Thursday, Aug. 15 for a pre-trial conference and is currently be held without bail.
