Waterloo murder trial will begin next week

Jury selection is slated to start Monday in the trial of Wayne Ellison Jr. and Christopher Kesterson, according to the Finger Lakes Times.

The two men are charged with second-degree murder and weapon possession relating to the fatal shooting of Texan William Waugh in September 2022.


The incident occurred in Waterloo near the Ontario County border.

Authorities believe a preceding bar altercation may have sparked the deadly confrontation that took place around 1 a.m. on Route 96.

Waugh, who was visiting Waterloo for a wedding and had formerly lived there, was pronounced dead after being transported to Geneva General Hospital.
