25 To Life For Man Who Killed Father Of Ex's Child In Cold Blood

YONKERS, NY — A man who terrorized his ex-girlfriend will spend decades in prison for murdering the father of her child.

Westchester County District Attorney Miriam Rocah announced on Tuesday that the Bronx man was sentenced to 25 years to life for the 2021 Yonkers murder of Pennsylvania resident Shaun Hutchinson, the father of his ex-girlfriend's child.

"The intersection of domestic violence and gun violence can have devastating consequences," Rocah said. "Not only did a victim have his life taken from him, but the defendant’s obsessive control and psychological manipulation will cause lasting trauma to the woman who witnessed this cold-blooded murder of her child’s father."

After a two-week trial, a jury on April 25, found Alexis Rose, 37, guilty of murder in the second degree, two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and criminal contempt in the first degree.

On March 15, 2021, at approximately 8:57 p.m., Rose, in violation of an order of protection, showed up at his ex-girlfriend's Yonkers home unannounced while 41-year-old Hutchinson, the father of her child, was leaving.

Following an argument with his ex-girlfriend, Rose removed a 9mm semi-automatic gun from his waistband and shot Hutchinson multiple times before fleeing. Hutchinson was pronounced dead at the scene.

Within hours of the incident, the Yonkers Police Department arrested Rose as he was leaving his residence in the Bronx.

Following the arrest, police recovered an empty box of ammunition, packages and invoices for 9mm firearm parts, gun cleaning kits, and gun paraphernalia from Rose's home. Investigators also noted that, prior to the murder, Rose's escalating conduct included calling and texting his ex-girlfriend from several different phone numbers, in violation of an order of protection.

The Mount Vernon Police Department, the Westchester County Department of Public Safety, the Westchester County Department of Laboratories and Research, the Westchester County Medical Examiner, and the DA’s Office High Technology Crimes Unit, all assisted with the investigation.
