Ossining Police Make Arrest In Stabbing Case

OSSINING, NY — Thursday night the Ossining Police Department announced the arrest of Andrew Knight, an 18-year-old Ossining resident, for his role in the death of Gregory Jackson.

Jackson was stabbed on James Street at about 4:40 p.m. Jan. 28. He died in the hospital Feb. 1.

Knight was located a short time ago in the Bronx and returned to Ossining, said Chief Kevin Sylvester. He has been charged with Murder in the Second Degree and will be held at Police Headquarters pending arraignment. A charge is merely an accusation and a defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

"We would like to thank our law enforcement partners from the FBI’s Westchester County Safe Streets Task Force, Westchester County District Attorney’s Office, Department of Public Safety Real Time Crime, NYSP, and the NYPD for all of their assistance in bringing this case to an efficient resolution," Sylvester said in his statement.

On Facebook, police officials said the arrest was the result of tireless work over the past 10 days by Lieutenant Giorgio and his staff in the Detective Division (Detective Armstrong, Detective Bracero, Detective Hadjstylianos, and Detective Chavez).

Jackson, 21, was a graduate of Ossining High School.

Services for Jackson Friday will be held at HORAC Ministries, 81 Croton Ave., Ossining. Visitation is at 10 a.m. and the funeral is at noon. A repast will be held afterward at Star of Bethlehem Church, 304 Spring St., Ossining.
