The estranged boyfriend of the Bronx woman killed when she and her infant daughter were pushed off their 15th-floor balcony is now wanted for her murder.
Angel Carrasco, 31, should be considered “ARMED AND DANGEROUS,” according to an NYPD wanted poster.
>A car crash led to a savage brawl on the streets of Brooklyn, where a stabbing victim gouged out his rival’s eye before collapsing in a pool of his own blood Thursday, police and witnesses said.
>The struggle kicked off shortly after a 47-year-old man crashed his car into another man, 46, walking near Shepherd and New Lots Aves. in East New York around 11 a.m., police said.
>The older man got out of his vehicle and stabbed the pedestrian in the stomach, who in turn chased the man down and punched his opponent’s eye out, according to law enforcement.
>A Ponzi schemer got a six-year prison sentence Thursday for his boozy bamboozle to trick investors into thinking they were giving loans to wine collectors who were putting up their rare bottles as collateral.
>The wine didn’t exist, but the hangover was real — Stephen Burton’s scheme siphoned more than $83 million from 141 victims from 2017 to 2019. Burton’s accomplice, James Wellesley, has already been sentenced to 10 years behind bars.
>Burton, 62, got the lighter sentence, in part, because he cooperated against his partner in crime and helped locate some of the stolen assets, and partly because he spent 13 months awaiting extradition to the U.S. in a brutal Moroccan prison.
>Gov. Hochul has a message for New York: Let’s dance!
>The 68-year-old governor Friday touted the state’s rollback of a regulation that required restaurants or bars to obtain special permission to allow any form of dancing on their premises.
>She even got Kevin Bacon of “Footloose” fame to join her in a Twitter video celebrating the red tape-cutting move.
>Big Bird asked fans how they’re holding up at the end of a busy week that had plenty of low points. Venting ensued.
>“Big Bird is just popping in to see how everyone is doing today!” the seemingly innocuous message posted to X Friday morning reads.
>The “Sesame Street” star got many grim responses on the educational program’s social media feed.
>“Not great Big Bird, lots of great people passing as of late, it’s been a real downer,” responded an X user under the handle Dr. Katz.
>That seemed to be the general consensus. The celebrity death that got the most attention this week was that of 80-year-old singer Dolly Parton. The world mourned for the “Jolene” singer whose amazing life of music and philanthropy ended in a Tennessee hospital Tuesday.
>Dark movie theaters, or creepy home basements, are the classic venues of choice for those who love supernatural scares. But “Paranormal Activity,” which opened Tuesday night at the August Wilson Theatre, makes the case that, yes, you can be scared out of your wits at a Broadway house, sitting among 1,200 other lost souls.
>I let out plenty of involuntary grunts and screeches, and I’d even seen this show before.
>It helps that it’s dark in there and the sound effects are of a volume and intensity to levitate your body from its seat. You might even find yourself clutching your neighbor’s sinewy knee for comfort. Who knows?
>“Paranormal Activity” is not the first example of a Broadway horror show (LOL). But whereas some other chillers have flamed out, this one comes with a true maestro of the form in Felix Barrett of the British company Punchdrunk.
>Conservation officers confiscated a colossal — and illegal — snake near the Coney Island boardwalk after its owner tried to make it a sideshow attraction.
>A Facebook post by the state Department of Environmental Conservation on Friday shows two of its environmental conservation (ECO) police officers suspending between them the massive, 12-foot-long serpent.
>According to DEC, on July 12, ECO Maynard spotted the jumbo snake near the boardwalk as a crowd of around a dozen people, including small kids, were gathered around it. The man handling the snake and showing it off, who admitted to owning it, told the officer it was a Burmese python. At the same time, he also had a smaller snake, a ball python, draped around his neck.
>The man accused of piloting an overcrowded motorboat that capsized in the waters off lower Manhattan, killing a young mother and her 5-month-old baby, has been arrested and targeted for deportation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
>Manuel Hernandez, 46, a native of El Salvador, was arrested by federal immigration enforcement after the U.S. Coast Guard determined he did not have documents to legally reside in the U.S., according to a press release issued Wednesday by the Department of Homeland Security.
>In a statement, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin indicated Hernandez would remain in custody in the U.S. pending the resolution of his prosecution in Manhattan. The Daily News asked the agency where he would be detained but did not receive an immediate response.
