5 suspects arrected after shootout at warehouse

 

Five individuals were formally accused in federal court on Wednesday in relation to a chaotic gun battle that resulted in the deaths of two individuals at a warehouse in Mount Vernon on Tuesday, yet law enforcement is still in pursuit of additional suspects. The illegal sale of a significant quantity of marijuana and nicotine products to two individuals occurred at 137 South Fifth Ave. on Monday at approximately 10 p.m. It took the warehouse workers approximately two hours to prepare for this illicit transaction, as reported by the authorities. At approximately midnight, a pair of warehouse employees provided assistance to the customers by aiding them in transporting the boxes of merchandise to their vehicle. It was during this time that a group of 10 to 15 individuals suddenly emerged from a van and made an audacious attempt to steal the merchandise by brandishing firearms. Upon arrival at the scene at approximately 12:15 a.m., the Mount Vernon Police discovered the aftermath of a fierce exchange of gunfire between the workers and the robbers, resulting in the unfortunate loss of two lives.

Authorities have reported that Victor Jiminez, who was one of the perpetrators involved in the armed robbery, succumbed to a fatal gunshot wound to the head at the location of the incident. In contrast, the other victim, an employee working at the warehouse, was discovered beneath a shelving unit with gunshot injuries to his torso and chest. Regrettably, he was declared deceased upon arrival at a nearby medical facility.The AR-15 firearm, along with four AR spent shell casings and three spent 9mm shell casings, was found by the Mount Vernon police. A warehouse employee stated that the AR-15 belonged to the warehouse and was kept behind the register for security reasons.

The authorities successfully apprehended five individuals, namely Ilario Contreras, Jerpi Diaz-Feliz, Jhoan Diaz-Feliz, Victor Jimenez, and Joseph Perez. They were brought before the federal court in White Plains where they faced charges of murder, robbery, conspiracy to distribute narcotics, and possession of firearms. The FBI was informed by a source that the individuals were planning to steal "8 million dollars and 6 kilograms of cocaine" from the warehouse. The collaboration between the NYPD and FBI is ongoing as they continue their joint efforts to apprehend the outstanding individuals involved. Currently, there are at least five suspects who have yet to be apprehended. In order to aid their investigation, law enforcement has made public a photograph of an individual believed to be the perpetrator, potentially identified as "Marcos."

 

 

 

Women found in duffle bag two squatters wanted

 

Investigators are currently searching for two individuals who were squatting in the Kips Bay apartment of a woman's deceased mother. The woman tragically discovered the squatters living in the apartment, leading to her untimely death. Nadia Vitels came to the country from Spain to get the East 31st Street apartment ready for a family friend. The apartment, which had been empty for three to four months following her mother's passing, belonged to her. She came across a man and a woman residing within the premises. Vitels seems to have been hurled into a sheet rock wall during a fierce altercation, resulting in the subsequent discovery of a damaged and fractured surface. She sustained blunt force trauma to the head, multiple facial fractures and two broken ribs. The individuals took her Lexus and escaped over the George Washington Bridge into New Jersey, eventually crashing in Lower Paxton Township, near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Regrettably, the local authorities in Pennsylvania failed to run the license plate until the day following the accident, thereby providing the duo with an opportunity to escape. Investigators are currently pursuing leads and have obtained security footage showing the pair visiting various auto dealerships in an effort to purchase a new vehicle for $1,000. Unfortunately, their attempts were unsuccessful.

Vitels' remains were discovered inside a duffel bag on the previous Thursday by her worried son. He, along with the superintendent and other relatives, gained access to the apartment after not receiving any communication from her for a period of two days.

Despite the elevator requiring key access, authorities are currently investigating how the squatters were able to make it open on the specific floor.Surveillance footage of Vitels waiting for alternate side parking regulations to park her Lexus on East 31st Street before entering the apartment building has been retrieved, along with footage of the perpetrators driving away in the vehicle following her tragic demise.
