April 3, 2017 -- Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino, Jr. announced today that Michael Djukic (DOB 08/25/95) of 25 Lake St., White Plains, NY, pled guilty before Judge Barry Warhit to:
- one count of Attempted Criminal Facilitation in the Second Degree, a class “D” Felony and

in the shooting death of Dominique Hospie.
On Sunday, April 17, 2016 at approximately 11:24 a.m. in the area of 91 North Kensico Avenue in White Plains, the defendant, along with co-defendant Aaron George, was in a Chrysler Pacifica driven by Djukic. They drove to the above mentioned location after driving around for a period of time searching for the victim.
Once there, defendant Djukic waited in the vehicle as co-defendant George exited the vehicle, approached the victim who was on Kensico Avenue and fired a handgun multiple times at him, striking the victim. Co-defendant George then ran back to and re-entered the vehicle where
defendant Djukic was waiting in the driver’s seat and immediately drove off.
The victim was taken to Westchester Medical Center suffering gunshot wounds to the hand and back. He later died in surgery.
The defendant remains out on bail. He must surrender himself on April 19, 2017.
He faces a total of fourteen years in state prison on the two charges.
