A convicted murderer who brutally murdered his victim in Oklahoma and began transitioning his gender identity while in prison has been sentenced for the stabbing death of a second man, a New York City antiques dealer.
On Thursday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Jr. announced Alex Ray Scott was sentenced to prison for stabbing 64-year-old Kenneth Sabinski to death in January 2020. Scott was sentenced to 22 years to life in prison.
Law enforcement said the victim was decapitated with a chainsaw-like instrument.
Scott, an Oklahoma native, pleaded guilty on September 9 in New York State Supreme Court to one count of second-degree murder and two counts of fourth-degree possession of stolen property.
“Alex Ray Scott is serving a significant prison sentence for the brutal and senseless murder of Kenneth Sabinski, a beloved, friendly man and respected church member,” Bragg said in a statement. It will happen,” he said. “Mr. Sabinski's loss has not only shocked his friends and family, but his close-knit community. We cannot bring Mr. Sabinski back, but we hope that the resolution of this case will help his loved ones.” I hope that this will provide a sense of justice amidst the ongoing grief.”
authorities said Scott met Sabinski on a dating app and they “enjoyed a night out together” on January 27, 2020. Around 11:30 p.m., Scott was allegedly invited to Sabinski's Upper East Side apartment.
