Police have arrested and charged a Jackson Heights man in relation to a fatal shooting that happened inside his 88th Street home on Monday.

Nestor Londono, 49, was charged with manslaughter in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a controlled substance.

Police say at 11:57 a.m. on April 8, a 911 call was made regarding a shooting at 37-14 88th Street, the shooter’s home.

Upon arrival, police found 31-year-old Jeffrey Arroyo, a Jackson Heights resident, with a gunshot wound to the chest. Arroyo was rushed to Elmhurst Hospital where he was declared dead upon arrival.

Police say about an hour later, they took Londono from his residence, the location of the shooting, for questioning and arrested him later that day.

Police believe that the incident was drug related but the motive of the homicide is still being investigated.

Londono is currently awaiting his arraignment.

AOC is busy being a moron. Those are the consequences for electing people just because she promised taking from the makers and giving to the takers.

That so many people downvoted this is appalling. It’s either drugs or prostitution. It’s so painfully obvious and would be so easy to bust up. How wants that in the neighborhood? I’m shocked, but it seems quite a few residents like these thugs

The question is: Where they illegal aliens? Let’s not forget what Trump said, “they bring drugs, they are rapists, and some I assume are good people”.

He also said “we’ll build a wall and make Mexico pay for it” but that was a complete lie.

He was honest when he said he “grabs ’em by the pussy” at least.

Met Council leader warns of ‘catastrophe’ for low-income families in Queens due to lack of pandemic-era federal food aid

Mar. 28, 2023 By Bill Parry

As an accomplished legislator, law professor and media personality with broad experience in government and not-for-profit organizations, Met Council CEO and executive director David Greenfield is well aware of the power of words. With Passover arriving on Wednesday, April 5, and with federal pandemic food assistance no longer available to low-income families in Queens, the leader of the nation’s largest Jewish charity organization warned of a coming “catastrophe” and called for the city to step up to provide $13 million in emergency funding for pantries to help New Yorkers facing food insecurity and elevated costs of living in the borough.

Pair of Queens community organizations will activate public spaces to celebrate local cultures

Two Queens community organizations are among an inaugural cohort of five groups citywide that will lead new projects to celebrate local cultures and histories in public spaces under a new initiative called The Local Center in a partnership between Urban Design Forum and the Association for Neighborhood & Housing Development (ANHD).

At a time when New York is grappling with an uneven pandemic recovery and as displacement looms large for communities and neighborhoods across the five boroughs, this new endeavor will convene interdisciplinary teams to transform and activate the shared spaces where cultural traditions flourish — and importantly, center the community visions and leadership that is too often left out of the process.
