DA Cacace said: “The serial nature of the defendant’s alleged predation is deeply disturbing and is reflected in the breadth of Tuesday’s 17-count indictment. My office will continue to advocate for each of the defendant’s victims throughout the course of this prosecution and beyond, as we do for all survivors of domestic abuse in this county. With these extremely serious charges, we will seek to ensure this defendant’s alleged spree of domestic violence is finally put to an end.”
In August 2025, the defendant accosted a former intimate partner (Victim 1) inside the stairwell of her cousin’s apartment building, according to a felony complaint filed in the case. Victim 1 told the defendant she didn’t want to be in a relationship with the defendant because he had hurt another woman that same day, the felony complaint alleges. Then the defendant is accused of placing his hands around Victim 1’s throat, applying pressure until she fell to the ground. He is then accused of stealing her iPhone and running away.
In November 2025, the defendant approached another former intimate partner (Victim 2) inside her apartment building’s hallway, according to a felony complaint. The defendant got into a verbal argument with Victim 2 whereupon he pulled her hair and struck her multiple times with a closed fist, the felony complaint alleges. The defendant is then accused of fleeing the scene, returning to cut the screen of Victim 2’s bedroom window, forcing his way in and striking Victim 2 multiple times with a closed fist again.
This same month, the defendant allegedly called and sent harassing messages to Victim 2, threatening her life.
In December 2025, the defendant opened Victim 2’s bedroom window while standing on the building’s fire escape, according to a felony complaint. The defendant refused to leave, stating, in sum and substance, “Do you see how easy it is to get into your apartment” and threatening to hit her, according to the complaint. Victim 2’s son was present during this incident.
This case was investigated by the Yonkers Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Paige Pirtle, of the Special Prosecutions Division.
