Alexis Rose, a 35-year-old Bronx man, was arraigned Wednesday, March 31, in Westchester County Court for the murder, on March 5, of Shaun Hutchinson at the home of Rose’s ex-girlfriend on Warburton Avenue in Yonkers.

 

Rose’s presence at his ex-girlfriend’s home was in violation of an order of protection issued by Yonkers City Court. He fled after shooting Hutchinson but was arrested approximately two hours later, following collaborative efforts between the Yonkers, Mount Vernon and New York Police Departments. He is charged with second degree murder, and is being held at the Westchester County Jail.

 

Hutchinson, 41, a resident of Easton, Penn. sustained multiple gunshot wounds during the incident and was pronounced dead at the scene.

 

Westchester District Attorney, Miriam E. Rocah issued a statement following the arraignment, saying, “This is a terrible crime that left children without a father and an entire family traumatized, and we extend our deepest condolences to Mr. Hutchinson’s loved ones.” She added, “This tragic case highlights why it is so important to use every tool we have to keep guns out of the hands of people with histories of domestic violence.”

The charges against the defendant represent accusations and he is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
