A 28-year-old Oklahoma resident was sentenced to 22 years to life in New York state prison for fatally stabbing a man in an Upper East Side apartment in 2020, the Manhattan district attorney’s office said on Thursday.
“Alex Ray Scott will serve a significant prison term for the brutal and senseless murder of Kenneth Savinski – a beloved, friendly person and respected churchgoer,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Mr. Savinski’s loss not only devastated his friends and family but shocked his tightknit community. Although we cannot bring Mr. Savinski back, I hope the resolution of this case offers his loved ones a sense of justice in their ongoing grief.”
A man who stabbed a 65-year-old carpenter nine times in the back and neck in an unprovoked attack in the Port Authority in April has pleaded guilty to attempted murder charges.
“Marina Trubitsky is facing accountability for her fraudulent actions. The defendant used her position to take advantage of her clients, breaking their trust and stealing thousands of dollars,” said District Attorney Bragg. “My Office will continue to root out fraud by holding accountable those who exploit people relying on their legal counsel and advice.”
“Today, Michael McCloskey was held accountable for stabbing a man in an unprovoked attack at a public, densely populated transit hotspot,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Although the victim has thankfully recovered, he must live with the physical scars this attack has caused. We will continue to treat harmful conduct against commuters with the seriousness it deserves, and I thank our prosecutors for securing this strong outcome in court.”
