Arraignment in White Plains Ambush-Revenge Shooting

A White Plains man was arraigned Wednesday in relation to the shooting death of Dominique Hospie.

Acting Westchester County District Attorney James A. McCarty said Michael Djukic, 20, faces the following felony charges:

• Second-degree criminal possession of a weapon
• second-degree criminal facilitation
• Tampering with physical evidence
• Second-degree Hindering prosecution

The district attorney said Djukic, along with co-defendant Aaron George, drove to the area of 91 North Kensico Ave. in White Plains Sunday, April 17 around 11:24 a.m.

Djukic, who drove, waited in the vehicle as George exited it.

Police allege George approached Hospie and fired a handgun several times at him, striking him.

George got back in the vehicle and, police said, the two drove off.

Hospie was taken to the hospital where he died in surgery.

Police said George was the victim of a 2011 shooting by Hospie, who spent almost three years in prison for the crime.

Djukic pleaded not guilty and bail was set at $200,000 cash or bond.

He is scheduled to appear next in court June 1.

Djukic faces between 3.5 and 15 years in prison if convicted.

George, 21, of White Plains is scheduled to be arraigned Friday, May 20.
