Police: Phone Tip Leads To Arrest of Murderer

By Staff Reporter of the Sun | June 1, 2007

A Queens man who eluded police for nearly a year after beating to death an elderly man with a bat and assaulting a woman has been arrested in Brooklyn, the Queens district attorney announced yesterday.

A tip that was phoned in after the case appeared on the television show, America's Most Wanted, led police to the man, Michael Alexander, a former resident of Queens Village who had apparently fled to Brooklyn to hide.

Mr. Alexander, 54, is accused of killing his 71-year-old step-uncle and beating his 22-year-old girlfriend.
