The man who allegedly tried to rape a 19-year-old woman on the Upper East Side this summer was indicted on a slew of charges in a Manhattan court Wednesday.
Two men have been charged in connection with a deadly daylight shooting that took place at Tompkins Square Park in the East Village over the summer, the Manhattan district attorney’s office said on Thursday.
“As alleged, Angel Sardina and Rafael Macias coordinated a vicious and deadly shooting, which seriously injured one victim and tragically ended Fermin Brito’s life,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Our city’s parks should be safe spaces for all Manhattanites, and we will hold those accountable who endanger them with gun violence and illegal conduct. My thoughts are with Mr. Brito’s family as they continue grieving his loss and I wish the other victim a speedy recovery.”
The manager of Roma Pizza was taken to Bellevue Hospital where he was treated for significant bruising and swelling to his face, bleeding in his brain, facial fractures and multiple dog bite wounds. He was in critical condition for two weeks, where he was intubated and in a medically induced coma.
“Today, Tyrese Haspil is facing accountability for brutally murdering and decapitating Fahim Saleh, a kind, generous, and empathetic person who positively impacted the world. Even after the defendant stole from him to fund a lavish lifestyle, Mr. Saleh still gave him a second chance,” Bragg said. “While today’s sentence won’t bring Mr. Saleh back, I hope it provides his family a sense of closure as they continue to mourn his painful loss.”
