WPCNR POLICE GAZETTE. By John F. Bailey. March 28, 2006 UPDATED 12:20 P.M. E.S.T.: A young man, identified by police as Jermaine Peellettier, 20, described by those who knew him at the 85 Court Street Department of Social Services Drop-In Shelter as 20 years of age was stabbed to death last night. Police say the homicide victim was attacked on the corner of South Lexington Avenue and East Post Road at approximately 9:30 P.M. and died in the White Plains Hospital Medical Center a short-time later.
The victim is known to Geoffrey Ruff, as a nightly resident of the recently opened Court Street shelter where Mr. Ruff stays nightly. Ruff told WPCNR that the victim had stayed at the shelter Sunday night and has been a guest of 85 Court Street and the former airport drop-in shelter run by the Westchester County Department of Social Services System since last spring. A call to the Department of Communications to check on this report is being processed.
"He was probably on the way to the drop-in pick-up (when he was attacked)," Ruff theorized.
Martin Gleeson, spokesperson for the White Plains Police identified the victim moments ago as Jermaine Peellettier, a resident of Open Arms and the 85 Court Street Drop-in Shelter. WPCNR awaits further information from the police on this matter.
Ruff said that Sunday was the victim's birthday and that a relative had dropped by with some money for the youth. Subsequently police have informed us the youth's birthday was Monday. He died the day he was born.
