GREENBURGH – Three men who police say are associated with the January 29, 2023 murder of 35-year-old Ricky Brickhouse were arrested a few hours after Brickhouse died after being shot on the 100 block of Spring Street in Peekskill. One suspect who knew Brickhouse is facing murder charges and two others are facing felony weapons charges.
Peekskill resident Arnold Fernandez, 19, was charged with the felonies of murder and criminal possession of a weapon, police said. Also arrested were 26-year-old Errick Lowe of Cortlandt Manor and 20-year-old Omar Williams of Peekskill. The accomplices are both charged with felony criminal possession of a weapon.
Investigating officers at the shooting scene were able to determine the identity of a suspect and the vehicle used to flee the scene. The description was transmitted to the Westchester County Department of Public Safety Real Time Crime Center on Sunday afternoon. Within minutes, the vehicle was spotted traveling south on the Sprain Brook Parkway.
After a brief pursuit, the vehicle was stopped in the Town of Greenburgh and the three subjects were taken into custody without further incident.
Peekskill detectives learned that Fernandez and Brickhouse were known to each other and determined that the shooting was not a random act. All three suspects were arraigned on January 31, 2023 and remanded to the Westchester County Jail.
