Man Pleads Guilty to Wilton Homicide

BALLSTON SPA — A 40-year-old man pleaded guilty in Saratoga County Court on Feb. 11 - admitting that he negligently discharged a firearm inside his Wilton motel room last October, which subsequently caused the death of Michael Kornacki. 

Daniel A. Salas Miranda pleaded guilty to criminally negligent homicide and criminal possession of a weapon. Both charges are felonies. 

The incident occurred Oct. 7, 2018 at the Crest Inn - a motel on Route 9 owned by the family who also own Prestige Limousine – the company whose vehicle was involved in a crash last fall in Schoharie County where 20 people were killed. The two events are unrelated, according to police. 

Miranda admitted in court that he negligently discharged a firearm inside his motel room and that the bullet traveled through the wall of an adjoining room where it struck and killed Kornacki. Miranda also acknowledged that after negligently firing the pistol, he brought it to another room at the motel in an attempt to hide the weapon, according the district attorney’s office. 

Sentencing is scheduled for April 9, at which time it is anticipated Miranda will be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison, followed by post-release supervision, according to the Saratoga County District Attorney’s office.
