Urgent Appeal Made For Woodside Resident Missing Nearly Two Weeks

The family of a Woodside resident missing for nearly two weeks have made an urgent appeal about his whereabouts.

Luis Angel Dutan Cambi, 30, was last seen inside his 65th Street apartment on May 19 at midday, according to his cousin, Martha Dutan.

She said it is out of character for Dutan Cambi to go missing without a trace.

“Luis has a wife and a young child in Ecuador. He is the main breadwinner and sends money home so this is not like him,” she said.

Dutan Cambi lived with his mother at 35-58 65th St. and worked at Piatto Wood Fire Pizza in Long Island City. He has not turned up for work or been in contact with family members since his disappearance.

The family does not believe he has returned to Ecuador because his mother has his passport.

“We have searched high and low. We have been to hospitals and morgues but there has been no sign of him,” his cousin said.

Dutan Cambi is a Hispanic man and is described as being 5 feet and 7 inches tall.

He weighs around 190 pounds and was last seen wearing gray pants and red sneakers, police said.

Anyone with information as to his whereabouts is asked to contact Detective Steven Abrahamsen at 718-784-5441 or NYPD Queens North at 718-520-9200

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.
