Sizzling temperatures baking the Big Apple over the weekend did little to deter violence within the city, according to reports from several New York City precincts.
Friday night a 911 call in the 113th Precinct in Queens dispatched officers to an alley on Leslie Road, in St. Albans where police found a woman in her 20s dead. The medical examiner ruled her death a homicide and because no identification was found with her body, police are asking the publics help in identifying her. Photographs of tattoos on the young woman's body have been released: One, on her right arm, has the name “Zoe,” with two footprints, and another, on her chest, says “Libra.”
Police told The New York Times that the victim's face was swollen, her back was bruised and her wrists bore marks indicating that she had recently been bound. If you think you may know the woman, please contact the 113th precint.
Another murder in Queens claimed the life of Jose Cortes. Police say around at 2:14 a.m. two people punched and beat Cortes, 41, with a bicycle chain and a leather belt. The attack occurred on 103rd Street and 41st Avenue, in Corona. Detectives say the suspects, Juan Paucar, 24, and Brandon Perez, 23, both of Corona allegedly chased Cortes from a nearby sports bar after an altercation and beat him to death.
Paucar and Perez were apprehended by officers working with the Police Department’s Operation Impact, which floods officers into high-crime areas. Both have been charged with manslaughter.
Over an hour later, in the Morrisania section of the Bronx, 18-year-old Troynisha Harris was stabbed to death as she and a friend sat on the stoop of an apartment building on East 166th Street around 3:40 a.m.
The friend, a 20-year-old man, was stabbed in his stomach, but survived.
Police, who still investigating the stabbings, say a black Lincoln Town Car pulled up where Harris and the man were sitting when a man jumped out and stabbed Harris in the neck, and as he turned on the friend, Harris attempted to flee, but fell.
The suspect drove away after stabbing the male victim, police said. Harris was transported to Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center in the Bronx where she was pronounced dead.
