105 years after Puerto Ricans were granted American citizenship, they are still treated as second class citizens. Congress must grant #PRStatehood to ensure equal treatment under the law.

FINAL FAREWELL: This week, the city remembers two fallen officers.

The wake for the fallen hero Jason Rivera is held today at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Midtown Manhattan. It began at 1 p.m. and ends at 8 p.m. A funeral mass for Rivera will be held Friday, also at the famed church, with Cardinal Timothy Dolan presiding.

The 22-year-old had been a police officer for barely a year when he and his partner, Officer Wilbert Mora, were ambushed by a gunman at a Harlem apartment just one block away from their precinct.

Mora, 27, was in his fourth year on the job. His wake and funeral Mass were planned for next week, also at the iconic Roman Catholic cathedral.

01/25/2022

Today, we mourn the loss of Police Officer Wilbert Mora. At 27-years-old, he was murdered in the line of duty — fighting until the very end. We vow to #neverforget Wilbert and will always honor his legacy of service and ultimate sacrifice.

There goes your suspect killer that murdered the innocent 19-year-old teen from Puerto Rico who came to NYC was working the overnight shift at a local 24/7 Burger King in East Harlem till she was robbed and fatally shot.

01/14/2022

UPDATE: Suspect has been arrested tonight in Brooklyn. We'll have more details tomorrow on the murder suspect being held in NYPD custody.

Our prayers and condolences goes out to the family of 19-year-old Kristal Bayron-Nieves, who just moved to NYC from Puerto Rico for a better life going to college in New York and having a future in business representing the Puerto Rican-Latino Community of East Harlem. Sadly, she was murdered in a robbery around the early mornings of 1am at a local 24/7 Burger King on 116th Street & Lexington Ave working as a cashier. She was shot in the chest and taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. Bayron-Nieves' family are coming from Puerto Rico to New York to identify the body of their loved-one, to be flown back home to her native Puerto Rico for proper burial. The killer suspect is still at large in East Harlem. #RIPKristalBayronNieves 🇵🇷🇵🇷 💞💔🙏🕊🕊 If you know any information about the suspect's whereabouts, to please call the NYPD TIP LINE at 1-(800)-577-TIPS. #NYC #NewYork #Crime #Robbery #Murder #EastHarlem #Manhattan #PuertoRico
