The police have arrested a second suspect in connection with a gang-related shooting on Roosevelt Ave that left one man dead in May.

Police arrested Isaac Martinez, 34, Wednesday after he was caught trespassing inside a Roosevelt Ave building and brought in for questioning, the NYPD said.

Martinez, who police say is homeless, has been charged with murder and gang assault stemming from the May 5th shooting that killed Jorge Manzanarez. The shooting took place on Roosevelt Ave near Whitney Avenue, police said.

Martinez and Raul Zamora, who was arrested May 16, shot Manzanarez in the chest in front of 93-12 Roosevelt Ave following an argument, according to police.

Zamora, who lives a few blocks away from where the incident took place, is facing charges of murder in the second degree and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, police said at the time of his arrest.

Negotiations regarding the New York State budget have just concluded a few days ago and a budget has passed after more than two weeks of delays. But while Gov. Kathy Hochul has proclaimed this year’s ‘bold agenda’ aims to make New York ‘safer,’ there hasn’t been so much as a whisper about the safety issue New Yorkers actually care about – New York States’s dangerous bail reform laws and the State’s absence of a ‘dangerousness standard,’ which would allow judges to detain without bail those defendants that pose a present a clear and present danger to our communities. (The 49 other states and the federal government have a dangerousness standard. NY State is the only state that lacks this essential protection from the State’s most dangerous offenders.)
