Members of the Port Authority Police Department detained Hoyos-Foronda after he passed through security and before he could board a departing flight to Colombia. Detectives from the 114th Precinct placed him under arrest.
Hoyos-Foronda was arraigned in Queens Criminal Court on Sunday, March 30, on a complaint charging him with assault in the second degree, an armed felony offense, and unauthorized practice of a profession. Queens Criminal Court Judge Michael Gaffey remanded Hoyos-Foronda into custody without bail.
Peñaloza never regained consciousness and died when she was removed from life support. The charges against Hoyos-Foronda have yet to be upgraded.
