Major
WHITE PLAINS – A Greenburgh ten was sentenced in Westchester County Court to 15 years in prison on a charge of manslaughter and 15 years for criminal possession of a weapon. Both terms will run concurrently.
Trevon Major, 16, was convicted of killing Joseph Smith III in the hallway of a Greenburgh apartment building on August 17, 2017.
Major and two others had robbed another person. Smith, the fiancé of the victim’s mother, went to the home of Major and when he knocked on the door, Major answered and shot Smith once in the chest. Trevon Major, his brother, Vance Major, and the third perpetrator, Timothy Whitney, remained in the apartment until the police arrived.
The cases against Vance Major and Whitney are still pending.
