Concern is growing among the public after authorities revealed that Anthony A. Quesen, also known by the name Antonia, may be linked to multiple homicides in several states.

Quesen, a 25-year-old male from Baltimore, was arrested in October 2024 for the murder of a liquor control officer in Moon, Pa. This crime, which occurred on the Montour Trail, bears similarities to another homicide that occurred months earlier in New York, where Daniel Frament, a 76-year-old man, was killed on the Empire State Trail in Menands, N.Y., on April 18.

The transgender detainee faces manslaughter charges and remains in custody awaiting trial. So far, he has not been found guilty. According to a release from police:

"During the investigation, [New York State Police] discovered a similar homicide of an off-duty Pennsylvania State Police Liquor Control Enforcement Agent that occurred on the Montour Trail in Moon, PA, on October 21, 2024. The Allegheny County Police Department investigated the murder. Anthony A. Quesen, 25, of Baltimore, MD, was arrested and charged with Criminal Homicide as a result of their investigation. Quesen remains in custody at this time and is presumed innocent until proved guilty in a court of law."

Update Feb. 13, 2025: A trans person charged over the October 2024 killing of a Pennsylvania State Police Liquor Control agent has now been identified as the person of interest in the murder of a 76-year-old on the Empire State Trail in Menands, N.Y. earlier in the year.

A troubling pattern: Quesen is a violent individual

Authorities have identified a troubling pattern: Quesen is a violent individual with a disturbing criminal history and a transient lifestyle, which has allowed him to move around different states. His aggressive behavior raises questions about whether he could be linked to other unsolved crimes.

Despite his arrest in Pennsylvania, he has not yet been formally charged with Frament's murder. However, authorities are asking for the public's cooperation in clearing up the case. Anyone with information about the events on the Empire State Trail on April 18, 2024, or about Quesen's presence in the area, can contact the New York State Police at 518-457-6811 or email Crimetip@troopers.ny.gov.

Message from New York State Police

"Quesen also goes by the alias "Antonia Kaseim". Quesen has a history of violent behavior and is known to be transient with travels to multiple states. Due to the similarities in these crimes, New York State Police are attempting to locate any witnesses that may have observed Quesen in the Menands, NY, area around the time of Mr. Frament's murder. Quesen is only a person of interest at this time and there is no direct evidence linking him to the murder of Mr. Frament.

"Anyone who has any information related to Quesen’s whereabout at the time of this crime or was in the area of the Empire State Trail on April 18, 2024, are urged to contact State Police in Troop G at 518-457-6811 or email Crimetip@troopers.ny.gov."
