April 22, 2021 -- Westchester DA Miriam E. Rocah released the following statement today regarding the apprehension of a suspect in the April 20 stabbing death of a Yonkers store owner:
I am heartbroken by the tragic and senseless death of Ruben Martinez-Campos, a store owner in downtown Yonkers who was stabbed to death after confronting a man who stole a baseball cap from his store.
I know that the community shares my relief that suspect Tyrese Shubrick was apprehended within 24 hours thanks to the diligent work of the Yonkers Police Department in partnership with our office, and is currently in custody.
Shubrick will be arraigned today on a manslaughter charge and the DA’s Office is committed to ensuring that he is held accountable for his actions to the fullest extent of the law.
The Assistant District Attorney prosecuting the case has been in contact with Mr. Martinez-Campos’ family members, and all of us in the DA’s Office extend our deepest condolences to them on this terrible loss.
