A Bucks County man is headed to Montgomery County Common Pleas Court on homicide charges for allegedly fatally shooting his girlfriend during a fight in her West Conshohocken home.
Michael J. Dutkiewicz, 26, of the 2300 block of Oakfield Road, Warrington Township, waived his preliminary hearing Wednesday, before District Court Judge Henry Schireson, on charges of first- and third-degree murder and possessing an instrument of crime in connection with the alleged May 18, 2025, fatal shooting of 25-year-old Alyssa Rose Wiest, according to court documents.
Authorities allege the killing occurred shortly after midnight at her home in the 200 block of Moorehead Avenue.
According to Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele and West Conshohocken Borough Police Chief Salvatore Carfagno, at about 12:25 a.m., West Conshohocken Police responded to a 911 call reporting a shooting in the 200 block of Moorehead Avenue.
Officers arrived to find Wiest face down on the sidewalk with gunshot wounds to her torso. She was transported to Lankenau Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
A joint investigation by West Conshohocken Police and Montgomery County Detectives revealed that Wiest had been in a relationship with Dutkiewicz for the past two years. Authorities also discovered that the door to Wiest’s residence, located a few doors from where she was found, was ajar, and blood was found both inside the home and along the sidewalk leading to her body.
Evidence gathered at the scene included five projectiles recovered from both inside the residence and outside near the victim’s body.
Surveillance data from license plate readers showed Dutkiewicz’s silver Ford F-150 truck driving through the area after the shooting, according to the DA.
A neighbor reported seeing Dutkiewicz near his truck just after the incident, and the vehicle was observed leaving the area shortly thereafter, authorities allege. The data from the license plate readers confirmed the truck’s movement through Conshohocken and the surrounding area, Steele said.
