Rockland County District Attorney Tom Walsh announced that Gerard O’Sullivan, 61, of New City, NY, was sentenced today to 18 years to life in prison for the murder of Noe Hamer. Hamer was shot and killed by O’Sullivan, on February 6, 2020 at the McGowan’s Funeral Home in Haverstraw,NY. Noe Hamer was 42 years old at the time of his death.

The case was prosecuted by Executive Assistant District Attorney Steve Moore.
Rockland County District Attorney Tom Walsh said” Today Gerard O’Sullivan appeared before a
Judge of the County Court of Rockland County. What was described in court today was this act
was a cold blooded assassination. This murder occurred because the defendant followed Noe from
one job site to another. O’Sullivan knew the Noe Hamer didn’t have the physical ability to evade his
murderer. My office requested 25 years to life for sentencing. We can only hope that Noe’s family
and friends find closure from this horrific crime.”
It should be noted that a criminal complaint is merely an accusation and that a defendant is
presumed innocent until proven guilty.
