In recent news from New York City, two migrant suspects are currently on the run after allegedly attacking and robbing a tourist in Times Square. This incident occurred last month and has raised concerns as the suspects were residing in taxpayer-funded shelters just three blocks away from a local studio in Queens.
Residents in the area are calling for the closure of the shelter, which previously housed a Venezuelan migrant accused of shooting two NYPD officers. The suspect, a 19-year-old involved with a gang, had been under police surveillance for suspected robberies before the shooting incident.
