They or at least one of them live on 42nd street between Broadway and 31st Ave. Few months ago I saw 3 to 4 cooking out of a building and damaging parked cars for no reason. I called 911 but by the time police responded perps were gone.

wow, can’t even park your car in public without some lowlives trying to damage property… all fun and games until you meet someone who doesn’t roll like that and hurts you. Wonder what insurance does about this…

how come when a suspect is white they say white — but if a suspect is black, etc. they never mention it — just not right –

They mention it all the time. Just read through some of the previous posts here.

They never mention when a suspect is Irish. EVER

I never said Irish was a race.

Race is self-identified anyway. If you have 1 white/Irish parent and 1 black, African parent are you black or white?

DNA testing is the only way to know for sure and most people are a mix of a least two legally defined races.

This surveillance video isn’t necessarily from near the crime scene. It must be the best video they have of the suspects, that’s all.

Following a tragic week on Queens streets where three pedestrians — 43-year-old Natalia Garcia-Valencia, 58-year-old Elisa Bellere and 8-year-old Bayrron Palomino Arroyo — were fatally struck by unsafe drivers, Queens Borough President Donovan Richards announced that he has allocated $1.5 million in capital funding for street safety improvements on three of the borough’s most dangerous roadways.
