Alex Ray Scott, 28, received his sentence weeks after pleading guilty to the 2020 murder of 64-year-old Kenneth Savinski.
A 28-year-old Oklahoma man was sentenced to 22 years to life in New York state prison for fatally stabbing a man in an Upper East Side apartment in 2020, the Manhattan district attorney’s office said on Thursday.
Alex Ray Scott pleaded guilty earlier this month to the murder of 64-year-old Kenneth Savinski. The two spent the evening together on Jan. 27, 2020, before heading to Savinski’s apartment at around 11:30 p.m., according to evidence presented in court. Once inside, Scott began stabbing Savinski with several sharp objects, including a knife, authorities said. After the murder, he left the apartment wearing Savinski’s clothes and carrying several stolen credit cards, according to officials.
“Mr. Savinski’s loss not only devastated his friends and family but shocked his tight-knit community,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement. “Although we cannot bring Mr. Savinski back, I hope the resolution of this case offers his loved ones a sense of justice in their ongoing grief.”Giulia Heyward is a breaking news reporter on the Day-Of desk.
