A Bronx car crash that set off an argument between two drivers turned deadly for a bystander on Tuesday, according to law enforcement.
At around 4:30 p.m. on Phelan Place in Morris Heights, two cars collided and the drivers got into a heated argument.
According to a report, one of the drivers, a woman, exited her car armed with a bat before calling a man believed to be her boyfriend to the scene.
That man began fighting with the other driver as well as several bystanders. He allegedly stabbed the victim, 29-year-old Ronald Gomez-Mesa, multiple times after chasing him down the block.
Gomez-Mesa was taken to Saint Barnabas Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
“Very respectful guy, you know, fair, not abusive, a good buy,” Jose Peguero told ABC7 of his friend Gomez-Mesa. “So the lady got out of her car with a bat in one hand and her phone in the other hand, and she made a phone call. And that’s when this guy showed up. All I know is that she did call him, he showed up right away, and he started trying to punch people, stab people, without asking questions, without asking questions. That had nothing to do with Ronald.”
No arrests have yet been made. An investigation is ongoing.
Nobody really knows this but back in 2007/2008 i gave my @youtube plug to my boy @vladtv#djvlad cause I thought he deserved a deal too! As a matter of fact I think your boy E was the 1st DJ that @Google approached and offered a “show deal” true story… we all need to learn how to put people on, instead of putting them down! Vlad is rich and famous now and I guess I feel good about knowing I helped spark his tremendous success! @hotforeverinc 🔥#thatsthekindofpersoniam#spreadlovenothate❤️
Former New York City mayor and personal lawyer to ex-President Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, has been disbarred in New York for making false statements about the 2020 election.
The Manhattan Appeals Court ruled that Giuliani’s misconduct was severe, as he repeatedly lied in various forums to undermine the country’s electoral system and destroy citizens’ confidence in the government’s legitimacy.
Giuliani’s license was suspended in 2021. He has faced criminal charges in both Arizona and Georgia for his role in trying to overturn the 2020 election results.
A Giuliani spokesperson announced plans to appeal.
Following the decision by Governor Kathy Hochul to postpone the start of congestion pricing, a new report says she’s facing pressure to implement the tolling program but at a lower cost to drivers.
The New York Times reports legislators are urging her to bring back a modified form of congestion pricing, with a toll lower than the $15 that was originally planned for drivers traveling below 60th Street. The plan was expected to bring in $1 billion in annual revenue for the MTA and the decision to hit the brakes on it has left the agency without the money needed for many of its capital projects.
Hochul postponed the start of congestion pricing, arguing that it would hurt NYC’s economic recovery.
