Two Jamestown residents charged after alleged handgun menacing, threats

According to the Jamestown Police Department, officers from the department’s 2nd Platoon responded to a residence at approximately 3:29 p.m. on February 23, 2026, after receiving a report of a person with a handgun." The southside response followed calls reporting a person with a handgun at a southside Jamestown home, prompting an on-scene investigation by the 2nd Platoon.

"Upon arrival, officers made contact with the victim and two individuals identified as Kevin A. Garcia‑Maldonado, 24, and Tasia M. Davey, 27, both of Jamestown." Police identified the involved parties at the scene and began interviewing the victim and witnesses as part of the initial investigation.

"Garcia‑Maldonado allegedly menaced the victim with a handgun during a verbal argument," and "Davey made physical threats of harm toward the victim during the incident," according to the department’s account of the encounter. Officers recovered a Taurus 9mm handgun at the scene, and "Police determined that Garcia‑Maldonado did not possess a valid New York State pistol permit."

Jamestown police charged Kevin A. Garcia‑Maldonado with criminal possession of a firearm and menacing in the second degree. Tasia M. Davey was charged with harassment in the second degree. Both defendants were taken into custody and "Both were held in the Jamestown City Jail pending arraignment."

Multiple local reports use Feb. 23, 2026 and the approximately 3:29 p.m. response time as the incident timestamp. One account misidentified the day of week as Sunday, but the Jamestown Police date and time are consistent across police-supplied reports and local coverage. No source provided a street address for the southside residence, the victim’s name, or an arraignment date and time.

Key facts remain to be confirmed from official records: the Jamestown Police incident and evidence reports to verify whether the recovered Taurus 9mm was loaded and to obtain the firearm serial number, Jamestown City Court dockets for arraignment date, case numbers and any bail conditions, and booking records that show custody status after Feb. 23. Court filings and the Jamestown Police Department’s booking report will also clarify the relationship, if any, between the victim and the two charged individuals.
