At 2:16 AM on April 12th, 2023, members of the Yonkers Police Department discovered an unconscious male inside the parking garage at 25 Prospect Street. This male was pronounced deceased by EMS on the scene. The area was cordoned off as units initiated a criminal investigation.
Detectives from the Major Case Squad, Crime Scene Unit, and Digital Forensics Unit all began in-depth investigations into this incident, as they discovered that the victim sustained multiple stab wounds. Investigation yielded that the victim possessed cell phones that did not belong to him. Records indicated that the phones belonged to a Necker CHARLES (51) from White Plains, NY.
Detectives followed additional leads, including surveillance camera footage and witness accounts which identified CHARLES as the primary suspect. Investigation yielded that CHARLES was involved in a dispute with the victim over property. Additional surveillance camera footage was located that captured CHARLES discarding a knife in a nearby sewer. The knife was recovered and will be processed for forensic evidence.
Detectives located CHARLES in a vehicle in Getty Square later that day. CHARLES was apprehended without incident and was ultimately charged with Manslaughter 1st Degree. The victim’s identity is being withheld pending family notification.
“I applaud our Detective Division for their tremendous work on this case,” said Yonkers Police First Deputy Chief Joseph Monaco. “In just 14 hours from the discovery of the crime, Detectives were able to place a suspect into custody and recover the potential weapon used in the stabbing. We do not tolerate acts of violence in this City, and perpetrators should be aware that our Officers and Detectives will work tirelessly to bring you to justice should you attempt to do so here.”
NOTE: Booking charges are merely accusations, and the defendant(s) are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. ###
