FROM THE ALLEGANY COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE: On September 21, 2026, Scot D. Thompson (formerly of Englewood, Florida) plead guilty to two counts of Murder in the Second Degree, class A felonies, for the intentional killing of his two brothers, Mark Thompson and David Thompson.
This plea stems from an incident in the late evening hours of November 23, 2025, at a hunting cabin on Botsford Hollow Road in the Town of Allen, where Scot Thompson did intentionally kill Mark Thompson and David Thompson, by shooting them both with a rifle.
Scot Thompson is set to be sentenced on these matters on November 23, 2026, exactly one year to the day that he shot and killed his two brothers.
He faces a maximum of 25 years to life in the New York State Department of Corrections.
This case is being prosecuted by Acting District Attorney Peter J. Degnan and Acting First Assistant District Attorney Danielle A. Ward.
