| 15 yr old Brox girl charged w/ 2 murders, dismemberment | |
| 2008-12-29 | |
A 15-year-old Bronx girl has been charged with two homicides including the death of a man whose dismembered body was found in a plastic bag. Sharell Butler was arraigned late Saturday and charged as an adult with murder in the deaths of 24-year-old Christopher Umpierre on Dec. 19 and 22-year-old John Hopkins-Drago on Dec. 21.
Prosecutors said Umpierre was shot in the chest during a home invasion robbery involving Butler and others. Prosecutors do not believe that Butler was the shooter, but no one else had been charged in Umpierre's death as of Sunday, said Steven Reed, a spokesman for the district attorney's office. Butler, whose street name is "Lady Red," was arraigned in Bronx criminal court and was being held without bail, Reed said. A lawyer for the teen, Xavier Donaldson, did not immediately return a call seeking comment. | |
