  • NYPD detective shot in Queens in apparent case of friendly fire, Adams says

    [ad_1]

    The NYPD narcotics detective who sources say was shot twice when he and other officers happened upon a carjacking in Queens Friday may have been hit by friendly fire, Mayor Eric Adams said.

    “At this time, it appears it was a friendly fire incident,” Adams said during a press conference following the shooting.

    A call about the officer shot, near 22nd Road and the Whitestone Expressway, came in around 9 a.m. The detective was said to have been shot in the leg and the arm.

    Law enforcement sources say he was conscious and alert when he was taken into surgery. His injuries are non life-threatening and he is expected to make a full recover, Adams said during the presser.

    Not much is known about the officer, but Adams said that he is a 12-year veteran of the NYPD whose wife is expecting a child.

    According to the preliminary investigation, an Uber driver was parked just off the service road of the Whitestone Expressway when a man approaches and announces a robbery shortly before 9 a.m., NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. near a Parsons Boulevard gas station. The driver gets out of the vehicle and is allegedly assaulted by the carjacking suspect, before he calls 911 to report the carjacking.

    Police say in that case, the suspect stole a man’s car, then realized he didn’t have the key fob, so he got out and attacked the owner. The owner apparently tackled the suspect, suffering some leg and hand injuries in the process, in order to get the keys from the owner.

    At this point, officers from the 109 Precinct are responding to the 911 call about the robbery and spot the car, Tisch said. Meanwhile, detectives assigned to the South Queens Narcotics Unit, spot the patrol officers attempting to arrest the alleged carjacker and try to help by blocking the car. Officers end up shooting, and while the suspect is not hit, one South Queens Narcotics officer was struck, Tisch said.

    A suspect is in custody, officials say. The 28-year-old suspected carjacker has a history of past arrests involving robbery and assaulting officers. He was on parole for a robbery that took place in March when the incident on Friday took place, Adams said.

    “He was literally arrested again and released yesterday with a desk appearance ticket,” Adams said.
    Before going out to attempt a carjacking in Queens, he walked out of one of our criminal justice locations.”

    New York Gov. Kathy Hochul also expressed concern.

    The shooting comes weeks after the entire NYPD and the larger New York City community mourned officer Didarul Islam, who was off-duty and working security in his uniform at the NFL headquarters building on Park Avenue when a gunman stormed in and opened fire in the lobby. Four victims died. The gunman killed himself.

  • ‘Where’s your humanity?’ 6-year-old girl deported after ICE takes family at NYC immigration court

    [ad_1]

    A 6-year-old Ecuadorian girl and her mother who had been living in Queens, New York, and were detained after a routine immigration hearing earlier this month have been deported.

    Dayra is one of at least four New York City public school students to be detained by ICE this year. She’s also believed to be the youngest the agency has detained in the five boroughs.

    The fate of the girl’s teenage brother, who had been with them and was separated when federal agents took the family, is expected to be the same, federal officials confirmed Wednesday. He had been held at a detention center in New Jersey, nearly 2,000 miles from where his mother and sister were sent for holding in Texas.

    Assemblymember Catalina Cruz confirmed the deportation with congressional liaisons in Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez’s office. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul also confirmed the deportation in a message posted to social media.

    Hochul called Jackson Heights, a neighborhood in Queens, where the 6-year-old lived and went to school, the only home the child had ever known. She won’t return there.

    “Instead, today, they were sent on a plane to a country — to a foreign country, for this little girl,” Hochul said in her post Tuesday night. “This is cruel, and I say to those who did this, ‘Where is your humanity?’”

    Six-year-old Dayra is a student at PS 89, the Jose Peralta School of Dreamers in Queens. She had been preparing to return there in the fall.

    Councilmember Shekar Krishnan, a Democrat representing Jackson Heights, says the family showed up to 26 Federal Plaza on Aug. 12 for a scheduled immigrant check-in. Krishnan says they were detained at the hearing.

    “Family separation is cruel it is unnecessary it is not making our community safer. What it is doing is spreading horror and terror in neighborhoods like my own in Jackson Heights and Elmhurst,” he said.

    A spokesperson for NYC Schools shared the following statement:

    “When we hear about a family that is being detained, we have – with their permission – connected them with community and agency partners who can offer legal support and other resources.”

    A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said Dayra, her mother Martha and her older brother all entered the country “illegally” in December 2022.

    “They have all received final orders of removal from an immigration judge,” the spokesperson said.

    NYC burglary suspect kills woman on bicycle while fleeing police

    [ad_1]

    A burglary suspect trying to elude police in Queens hit a young woman on her bicycle, killing her, before abandoning the car with two other suspects and running away, authorities say.

    According to the NYPD, cops tried to stop the pick-up truck near 34th Avenue and 37th Street in Astoria and the driver sped off. It was around 11 p.m. Tuesday and they were investigating a burglary on Crescent Street.

    The details of the burglary case weren’t immediately clear. Police say the truck driver fled when officers tried to stop him, hitting the bicyclist, in her 30s, in his attempt to escape. The driver fled that scene, too.

    The vehicle was later found abandoned on Newton Road. Police say it had been occupied by three males.

    The bicyclist was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Her name was not immediately released.

  • ‘Death trap’ Queens haunted house sued after injuries from alleged safety hazards

    ‘Death trap’ Queens haunted house sued after injuries from alleged safety hazards

    [ad_1]

    A haunted house in Queens proved to be too horrific for some who have filed lawsuits claiming they were injured inside the frightful attraction.

    A Haunting in Hollis was shut down Oct. 5th after the FDNY called it a “death trap,” citing various safety hazards inside the two-family house that had been illegally converted into a commercial haunted house.

    On Friday, the New York City Department of Buildings gave it the green light to reopen saying the operators had fixed many of the issues, including installing fire-rated sheetrock on multiple walls, removing flammable materials, added exit signs and egress paths, and fixed open electrical wiring.

    But Solainne Mancero-Tannis of Jamaica, Queens, could not stay silent after learning the haunted house was allowed to reopen and operate.

    “I’m all for people having fun on Halloween as long as it’s safe,” said Mancero-Tannis.

    It was on Friday the 13th during Oct. 2023 that Mancero-Tannis and her family visited the haunted house. She recalled the various rooms with actors sneaking up on them to scare them. She described narrow hallways, stairways and having to walk up and down the two levels to all see all the rooms.

    But she says the real scare would be a slide called “Satan’s Slope.”

    “I went down the slide very quickly crash landed and didn’t even see anything, it was pitch dark. I crashed into the bottom and hurt my ankles,” said Mancero-Tannis. “All I remember is the impact.”

    She said she slammed feet first into a concrete wall at the end of the slide, shattering both ankles. She needed surgeries and screws and metal to put her ankles back together. A year later, she is not back to normal, having to walk very slowly everywhere she goes and she is still undergoing physical therapy.

    She is now suing the operators of the haunted house.

    “Her goal was number one to try to shut it down and make the public aware,” said her attorney Mike Goldberg. “And then to hopefully to try to get us some compensation for her injuries.”

    There are at least four other lawsuits against the haunted house, some victims claiming they too were injured on the slide.

    Lawrence Carra, an attorney for the haunted house operator, said the slide has since been removed. He told NBC New York that “the parties were allegedly injured as a result of their conduct and not ours,” that “we try to provide a safe and proper environment for the entertainment of our guests.”

    He also said guests likely ignored warning signs posted by the slide, but Mancero-Tannis said there were no warning signs and no workers around who could answer questions about the slide before she took the plunge.

    “To go to a place thinking you’re going to have a good time and then you come out as injured. It’s not okay. It was very hurtful, very humiliating and devastating for me.”

  • Queens family sues funeral home after mom’s casket sent to wrong country

    Queens family sues funeral home after mom’s casket sent to wrong country

    [ad_1]

    A New York City family is suing a funeral home for mistakenly sending their mother’s casket to another country for burial.

    Carmen Maldonado died two days after her 96th birthday. Her wish was to be buried in Ecuador next to her husband. Her family, who lives in Queens, was preparing for the funeral in Ecuador when they saw a video posted on TikTok that shocked them.

    The video showed a family in Guatemala shocked to find a woman’s body in the casket at the funeral for their 38-year-old son. It was Carmen Maldonado.

    Both bodies had been prepared by the same funeral home, Rivera Funeral Home in Corona.

    “I was devastated, I couldn’t believe that this could be such a big confusion, “ said Carmen’s daughter, Rosa Sicha. “I started to cry, and I was incredibly upset.”

    The funeral home had sent Carmen to Guatemala in error. Manuel Minchala, the youngest son, flew to Guatemala to bring her home.

    “They tried to bury my mom in Guatemala, and I was begging the people there. I had to deal with the health department, the police, a lot of big, big processed to export the body to a different country,” said Minchala.

    When the family asked the funeral home about the mix up, they claim the funeral home denied it. Now the family is suing the funeral home and the company that owns it.

    “They tried to cover it up, and there is no excuse for that. And if the family did not see this on TikTok and confront them, the funeral home would have never told them,” said attorney Phil Rizzuto.”

    Neither the funeral home or their attorney had a comment. The family was able to bring her back to Ecuador where she was late to rest.

  • Gropers spit on young girls, use puppy to ‘entice’ them in separate Queens attacks: NYPD

    Gropers spit on young girls, use puppy to ‘entice’ them in separate Queens attacks: NYPD

    [ad_1]

    Reports of multiple groping incidents just days apart in the same part of Queens, with suspects preying on young girls on their way to school, have alarmed the community — and police suspect two men are behind the troubling attacks.

    Detectives said the suspects have targeted children in the Elmhurst and Maspeth neighborhoods in deliberate, planned-out attacks.

    One of the incidents involving preteen girls happened Wednesday, Sept. 18, when a man used a dog “to entice the girls into a conversation” while on a city bus, according NYPD Chief John Chell.

    The unidentified man carrying a chihuahua approached an 11-year-old girl on a crowded Q58 MTA bus around 7:30 a.m. and allegedly put his hands on her chest. Then, less than 10 minutes later, police said he inappropriately grabbed another 11-year-old girl.

    In both instances, police said he used the small dog to make the children feel comfortable. After the second groping on the bus, police said the man hopped off around 72nd Street and Grand Avenue and headed north.

    “This man is intentionally using a puppy to sexually abuse girls on the way to school, on a bus,” Chell told NBC New York.

    Images of the suspect released by the NYPD show the man with curly hair who’s approximately 30 to 45 years old, and he was last seen carrying around the dog. He was wearing a black baseball cap, yellow jacket and black sweatpants.

    A second groper was discovered after an additional incident just two days later, on Friday. Police said a man approached a 12-year-old girl just after 8 a.m. near 71st Street and 54th Avenue.

    That is where the man, around 25 years old, spat his drink on the girl as she was walking to school and grabbed her backside while appearing to clean up his mess, according to police. He then attempted to sexually assault another 12-year-old girl moments later using the same ruse.

    The suspect was seen on surveillance images with a blue scrubs and a black head cover.

    “Predatorial, dangerous, and common denominator: young girls going to school,” a disgusted Chell said. “This is the M.O. of a sexual predator. This is a parent’s worst nightmare.”

    The NYPD is increasing police resources across the community and also encouraging parents to speak to their children about the two men suspected in the incidents. Anyone with information is asked to contact police.

    Howard Beach community comes together to pay tribute to those lost on 9/11

    [ad_1]

    HOWARD BEACH, Queens (WABC) — They are making good on a promise they made more than two decades ago – to never forget.

    Dorie’s son, Richard Allen Pearlman helped a woman after terrorists flew planes into the Twin Towers. On September 11, 2001, the 18-year-old volunteer EMT rushed into the building twice – but did not make it out alive.

    “It turned my whole life upside-down. At the same time, my mother was in the hospital dying of cancer. My mother and son died three and a half weeks apart. So where do you run? Look for your son, or stay with your mother?” said Dorie.
    The Pearlman family was in Howard Beach with many others, honoring those who died and survived the attacks.

    Eyewitness News will have live coverage of the remembrance of the victims. Bill Ritter will once again anchor our coverage on Channel 7 and streaming on all of our ABC7NY platforms beginning at 8:25 a.m.

    The Howard Beach Lindenwood Civic organizes the tribute. Phyllis Inserillo has been instrumental in it.

    “I was teaching preschool at the time and I just remember one of the little boys I taught looking at the news we put on to see what was happening, he said ‘my mom is in those towers but thankfully she came home,’” Inserillo said.

    Retired firefighters John Morabito and Jay Frango got the call and responded to the disaster.
    “We lost more firefighters from illnesses than we lost on September 11 itself, so it’s a reminder for us that we have to keep going to funerals,” Morabito said.

    Wednesday marks the 23rd anniversary of the attacks – the moment Dorie was shaken to her core.

    “They got away with murder – literally, murder,” she said.

    The second there was a seismic shift in the world – as we all knew it – would never be the same.

  • How much prize money do U.S. Open winners get?

    How much prize money do U.S. Open winners get?

    [ad_1]

    U.S. Open winners will take home hefty paychecks this year, distributed from a record purse of $75 million for the final Grand Slam tennis tournament of the season. The total pot is 15% bigger than it was in 2023. 

    The checks awarded to the men’s and women’s singles draw champions could go to American players. 

    Though it’s unclear who the winners will be, two American women — Emma Navarro and Jessica Pegula — reached the semifinals, and Pegula won her match, earning a place in the finals. Navarro and Pegula happen to have fathers who are billionaires. On the men’s side, another American could also take home the trophy — and first-place check — for the first time since Andy Roddick won the tournament in 2003. Americans Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe will face off in one of two semifinal matches on Friday. 

    The winners of the women’s and men’s singles draws will each earn equivalent $3.6 million checks — a 20% bump from the $3 million winners earned in 2023. The finalists in each event, or runners-up, will get $1.8 million this year, according to official figures from the Queens, New York, tournament. All four semifinalists in both singles draws will get $1 million a piece. Notably, this year marks the 50th anniversary of male and female players earning equal prize money at the tournament. 

    U.S. Open winners earn more than Wimbledon champions, who each took home £2.7 million, or just over $3.4 million, a substantial bump of nearly 15% from 2023, according to official prize money figures released by the grass court tournament.

    At the U.S. Open, men’s and women’s singles players who make it as far as the round of 128, also known as first-round main-draw losers, earn prize money too. The payout breakdown is as follows:

    • Round of 16: $325,000
    • Round of 32: $215,000
    • Round of 64: $140,000
    • Round of 128: $100,000

    Doubles players earn significantly less. The champion women’s and men’s doubles teams each get $750,000, to be split between the two players. Second-place teams get $375,000 each. The winners of the mixed doubles event take home $200,000, while the second-place team gets a $100,000 check. 

    The women’s finals take place on Saturday, Sept. 7, while the men’s championship match will be played on Sunday.

    U.S. Open moves to quarterfinal rounds


    U.S. Open tennis quarterfinals getting underway

    02:29

    For vodka maker Grey Goose, the U.S. Open’s signature cocktail — the “Honey Deuce” — is a clear winner. 

    The drink is expected to generate more than $10 million in sales this year — enough to cover the prize money for both the women’s and men’s singles champions. Last year, the tournament served up more than 450,000 Honey Deuces despite the $22 price — steep, but not outside the lines for cocktails at many New York City establishments.

    This year, the drink runs $23 and is sold across concession stands at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York, where the annual tennis tournament is held. 

    To date, more than 2.2 million Honey Deuce cocktails have been sold, according to Grey Goose. It is served in a collectible, acrylic cup, which has even been likened to a fashion accessory. It’s named after the term that refers to a game being tied at 40-40. 

    So what exactly is in a Honey Deuce? The vodka drink, created by restaurateur Nick Mautone, mixes Grey Goose vodka with raspberry liqueur and lemonade. As a garnish, it also features honeydew melon balls, presented on a toothpick, in a nod to tennis balls.

    Other tennis tournaments also have their own signature drinks, but it’s not clear that they’re as lucrative as the Honey Deuce. Wimbledon’s traditional Pimm’s Cup cocktail has been served at the London tournament since 1971, while at the French Open in Paris fans sip on champagne. 

    This year, however, French Open tournament officials banned booze in the stands after fans became too rowdy.

    2 teens dead following moped crash on Cross Island Parkway

    [ad_1]

    WHITESTONE, Queens (WABC) — Two teens who were riding a moped were killed in a crash on the Cross Island Parkway in Queens early Saturday.

    Police say the accident happened in the southbound lanes near 150th Street in Whitestone.

    The victims were discovered separately. Officers say they found a 19-year-old woman at the scene of the crash around 2:30 a.m., where she was pronounced dead. About 15 minutes after finding her, the NYPD received a report of a young man walking into Flushing Hospital with injuries from the same accident. The victim, a 15-year-old boy, died a short time later.

    Early findings in the police investigation reveal that the moped had backend damage. Police are working to determine whether they were struck by another vehicle.

    The relationship between the two victims is unclear at the moment.
