Statement From Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on the Trial Conviction of Randy Santos

Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg, Jr., said: “A jury determined that Randy Santos knowingly and purposefully murdered four men with a metal bar in the span of less than 30 minutes. They were strangers to him, and simply happened to be sleeping on Chinatown sidewalks that horrific night. Two additional victims were injured in Santos’s brutal attacks. Now, he has been held accountable for his crimes. I thank my office’s prosecutors for ensuring justice for Florencio Moran, Nazario Vásquez Villegas, Anthony Manson and Chuen Kok, as well as the two other men who, thankfully, survived.”
