A Delaware man has been sentenced for the “execution-style” murder of another man in the Hudson Valley. Eric Williams, 24, of New Castle, Delaware, was sentenced to 25 years to life in state prison for the 2021 murder of Jabree West, 22, of Wilmington, Delaware.
“Thanks to the tireless efforts of our prosecutors and law enforcement partners, justice has been served for this cold-blooded, ruthless murder,” said Westchester County District Attorney Miriam E. Rocah.
Williams was convicted of second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, both felony charges, after a four-week trial in June.
On June 20, 2021, at approximately 4:30 a.m., Williams, who was in a personal conflict with West, used a 9mm semi-automatic pistol to shoot the victim once in the back of the head while he was sleeping in the threshold of a residential building on Bronx River Road in Yonkers, according to officials.
West was taken to New York-Presbyterian Westchester Hospital in Bronxville, where he died.
“During the investigation, the Yonkers Police Department recovered surveillance video of the defendant pacing in front of the building adjacent to where the victim was sleeping, apparently handling the weapon. Defendant then walked away from the camera and approximately one minute “Then a gunshot was heard. The defendant was observed speeding away from the scene of the crime. Additional footage captured the defendant walking through Yonkers for hours before being picked up and taken back to Delaware,” the Westchester County District Attorney’s office said in a statement. a press release.
Police also checked West’s cell phone. His phone contained various videos and photos of West and Williams during their trip from Delaware to New York, according to officials.
