Victims Found on Property of Ex-Briarcliff Manor Cop Likely Shot

OTISVILLE, NY — The former Briarcliff Manor police officer who was accused of four murders appeared briefly in federal court Thursday.

Prosecutors said they were still waiting for ballistics test results in the case, meaning it’s likely the four men who were killed were shot to death, the Journal News said.

Autopsies on the victims have not been completed yet either.

Nicholas Tartaglione was indicted in December for the murders of Martin Luna, Urbano Santiago, Miguel Lune and Hector Gutierrez, as well as his part in a drug distribution conspiracy.

The men’s bodies were found on a property where Tartaglione lived in Orange County.
