Riding a bike in NYC at any time for any demo is dangerous. What is a 77 yr old man doing riding a bike at night? I am 73 and stopped driving at night because of having senior eyes.

RIP and condolences to the family.

The teenager walked into the 103rd Precinct in Jamaica on Tuesday morning and surrendered to police, according to a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation. He was arraigned later in the day in Queens Criminal Court on a complaint charging him with murder in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon for shooting Jazmin once in the chest as they got off a Q83 MTA bus at the corner of Liberty Avenue and 172nd Street just after 2:20 p.m. on Wednesday, March 26.
