WHITE PLAINS – A Mount Vernon man is heading to prison for 18 years for the stabbing death of another Mount Vernon resident in 2019. Forty-three-year-old Richard Vincent was sentenced to prison on Thursday, according to Westchester County DA Miriam Rocah.
Rocah noted that Vincent will be subject to five years of post-release supervision after prison.
During the evening of March 12, 2019, Vincent slashed 39-year-old Randy Streete’s throat and stabbed him multiple times during a physical altercation in the victim’s apartment on South Sixth Avenue in Mount Vernon. The next day, the victim’s girlfriend found him dead on his bedroom floor and called the police.
Following an investigation by the Mount Vernon Police Department, the defendant surrendered himself and was arrested on March 20, 2019.
After a weeklong bench trial in April 2022, Vincent was found guilty of first-degree manslaughter, a violent felony.
