Queens District A orney Melinda Katz announced Tuesday that Martin Mo a, 75, has pleaded guilty to manslaughter for the 1976 killing of a 81-year-old World War I veteran George Clarence Seitz. Mo a faces 20 years in prison.
District A orney Katz said, “ is longcold case marks the rst successful applica tion in New York City of forensic genetic genealogy. No ma er how much time has passed, we will use every tool at our dispos al to achieve justice. It is precisely for cases such as this one that I created the Cold Case Unit when I became Queens District A orney. For the gruesome murder of a World War I veteran, the defendant eluded arrest for more than 46 years. Now he is
headed to prison thanks to the collabora tion between the NYPD and our Cold Case Unit.”
Mo a, of Jamaica, pleaded guilty Tues day to manslaughter in the rst degree. Queens Supreme Court Justice Holder in dicated that he would sentence the defen dant on Nov. 7 to a determinate term of 20 years.
According to the charges, on March 12, 2019, human remains consisting of a pelvis and partial torso were discovered buried under concrete in the backyard of 87-72 115th St., Richmond Hill. e body had been dismembered at the neck, shoulders, and hips.
e remains enabled the O ce of the Chief Medical Examiner to determine a DNA pro le, in the hopes of identifying a
family member. at pro le was searched within local, state, and national databases with negative results.
In 2020, the Queens District Attor ney’s Office and the NYPD sought the assistance of a private laboratory and the FBI to help generate leads to the unknown victim’s identity. In February 2021, the laboratory, Othram Laboratories, used advanced DNA testing to produce a com prehensive genealogical profile from the skeletal remains. The genealogical profile was given to the FBI, which then gener ated leads that were turned over to the Queens District Attorney’s Office and the NYPD. Investigators began to contact po tential family members of the victim and obtained DNA samples for comparison to the discovered remains.
rough these combined e orts, in vestigators were able to con rm that the remains found were those of Seitz, a vet eran of World War I. Further investigation revealed that Seitz, then 81-years-old, went missing at approximately 10 a.m. on Dec. 10, 1976. He was last seen leaving his home in Jamaica, reportedly on his way to get a haircut. A er an extensive investigation, in formation was obtained that identi ed the victim as a regular customer of the defen dant at the barbershop and linked Mo a to the crime.
Crucial evidence obtained in the inves tigation which was led by the NYPD and the Queens DA’s o ce revealed that the de fendant fatally stabbed Seitz in the head af ter he robbed him of approximately $7,000 to $8,000.
Sure signs that Autumn has arrived in South Queens: The Fall Festival in For est Park in Woodhaven, and the How ard Beach Lindenwood Civic Haunt & Treat.
e Fall Festival, which is funded ijn part by Councilwoman Joann Ariola (ROzone Park), a racted thousands of rev elers to Victory Field inside the 544-acre Woodhaven green space last Saturday.

Mayor Eric Adams and the New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) on Monday announced the opening of the public comment period for new proposed rules, reducing the number of hours trash and recycling will sit on New York City sidewalks by adjusting the time of day trash may be placed on the curb. Cur rently, trash and recycling may be placed on the curb after 4:00 PM the night before collection –the earliest of any major American city – mean ing that in many neighborhoods these items can sit out for more than 14 hours, including during the evening pedestrian rush hour. These new rules would decrease the amount of time trash is left on the curb, diminishing the eye sore of black bags, reducing trash for rats, and improving cleanliness – and ultimately boost ing the city's recovery.
Under the new rules, slated to go into effect on April 1, 2023, residential buildings would have up to three options, each of which would substantially decrease the amount of time trash is on the curb:
Place trash out after 6:00 PM in a secure container,
Place trash out after 8:00 PM if putting bags directly on the curb, or
If a building has nine or more residential units, the property owner may opt in to a 4:00 – 7:00 AM set-out window instead. The opt-in period will run for the month of January each year, allowing DSNY to design quick and effi cient routes that take effect April 1.
Taken together, this means trash will sit on the curb for a fraction of the time it does cur rently. These rules would apply to recycling and curbside composting as well.
This announcement also includes new clarified rules for commercial establishments,
which do not receive service from DSNY but rather from private waste haulers. Businesses may engage in one of the following options:
Place trash out after 8:00 PM if putting bags directly on the curb or
Place trash out one hour before closing in a secure container.
In addition to these new proposed rules, DSNY is doing more of its collection on the midnight shift than pre-pandemic, further re ducing the amount of time trash sits on the street. Overnight collection now accounts for approximately one quarter of all collec tion operations – roughly 5 million pounds per night.
The proposed rules are subject to public comment under the City Administrative Pro cedure Act. The comment period will be open until November 18, and a public hearing on the proposed rules will be held on Thursday, November 18 at 9:30 AM. After considering these public comments, DSNY will publish fi nal rules later this year. Public comments can be submitted by email, mail, or via the city's website: https://rules.cityofnewyork.us/rule/ time-for-placing-solid-waste-and-recyclablematerials-out-at-the-curb-for-collection/.
“The reduced hours that trash will be on present on our streets will be a major deterrent to the issue of widespread problems with ro dents in communities throughout the city,” said City Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Ozone Park).
“I applaud Mayor Adams for his efforts to address our city's sanitation issues and encour age New Yorkers to engage in this public com ment process,” added Councilman Bob Holden (D-Maspeth). “The city needs to do more to get rid of pests that feed on garbage. More than ever, we need to rely on New York's Strongest and I thank them for their work.”
State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (Howard Beach) has said that he believes it’s the State’s responsibility to ensure that under age residents do not have access to any form of gambling, especially as he explores the possibility of advancing iGaming and other forms of online gaming next year, Addabbo announced Friday.
Earlier in October, the New York State Gaming Commission’s Division of Lot tery announced the launch of new train ing for Lo ery retailers to reinforce the importance of age veri cation and other best practices as part of New York State’s commitment to responsible gaming. “I commend the Gaming Commission for introducing this new training for our Lot tery retailers, because they are o en times the only defense against underage residents purchasing Lo ery tickets,” said Addabbo, chairman of the Senate Racing Gaming and Wagering Commi ee.
New York is working to ensure that only of-age players are able to access gam ing in the state. In addition to reviewing acceptable forms of identification and how to recognize a fake ID, the training for Lottery retailers will also include how to engage customers who may not be used to presenting ID for the purchase of a Lot tery scratch-off or draw game ticket. New York Lottery also requires its retailers to
visibly post responsible gaming signage at their sites, while also promoting the NYS HOPEline. Earlier this year, New York became the first lottery in the world to design, print and distribute scratch-off tickets for its approximately 15,000 re tailers, which features a QR or URL code providing customers with 24-hour access to problem gambling programs close to their location.
Addabbo highlighted the efforts in ad dressing the aspect of minors partaking in regulated gambling, especially when it came to drafting the mobile sports bet ting and iGaming legislative language and making it a top priority. “While we were working on the language for the mobile sports betting legislation, our team put in place safeguards to prevent underage gaming, such as when opening an account
with a mobile sports betting platform, players are required to upload their ID to confirm their age and other technical pro tections against underage gambling,” the Senator explained.
Addabbo said that when he works on the iGaming legislation next year, which will allow gamers to bet on live and virtual table games like poker and blackjack direct ly from their phones or other mobile devic es, he plans to provide similar preventative measures as included in the mobile sports be ing legislation to prohibit minors from participating in iGaming.
“We already have the technology and training at our brick-and-mortar casinos across the state that helps employees to spot fake IDs and not allow underage people in to gamble,” Addabbo pointed out. e sen ator said he looks forward to working with the Hochul administration, the Gaming Commission, including the Lo ery Divi sion, the New York State O ce of Addic tion Supports and Services (OASAS) and the New York Council on Problem Gam bling on improving the mechanisms to pre vent minors from gambling.
“By not allowing underage people to participate in mobile gaming, we are pro tecting minors from spending their money or their parents’ money on gambling, from potentially developing problem gaming habits, while protecting the integrity of gaming in the state,” Addabbo said.
Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez an nounced Monday the launch of a new ParkNYC app that o ers improved features that make it easier for drivers to pay for parking across the ve boroughs.
“NYC DOT’s new ParkNYC app makes paying for parking more convenient and less time-consuming,” Rodriguez said. “ is update addresses users’ top request: to pay as they go seamlessly without the need to pre-load a digital wallet. We are proud to launch a new ParkNYC app to help in DOT’s e orts to modernize curb management.”
e new ParkNYC app includes a mod ern and user-friendly interface, featuring the ability to pay-as-you-go for a parking session, and the continued ability to preload a ParkNYC wallet. Many of the same convenient features will still be available: users can check how much time is remain ing, choose to receive push noti cations when time is about to expire, and extend their time to maximum limit without re turning to the vehicle—all without need ing to put a receipt on their dashboards.
Current ParkNYC users will not need to download a different app. The exist
ing app will either update automatically, or users will be asked to update it in the Apple App Store or in Google Play. How ever, returning users must select “sign up” when first launching the new app, which requires a new account be created on the ParkNYC app or website, using the same mobile phone number that was previously registered. Existing wallet bal ances have been transferred to the new ParkNYC app and will be accessible if the user chooses to pay for parking with their wallet. Users’ eWallet balance will be transferred (if applicable), and the app will be ready to use. For more infor mation visit ParkNYC.org.
Launched in 2016, pay-by-cell now ac counts for 42% of all parking meter pay ments. Improving the digital parking ex perience furthers NYC DOT’s e orts to create a modern vision for curb manage ment and fosters proper parking turnover across New York City. NYC DOT and its contracted app provider, Flowbird, will promote the new ParkNYC app through digital advertising platforms.
e new ParkNYC app is among the rst steps in DOT’s work to modernize metered parking in the years ahead, which will include the installation of new “pay-byplate” meters, Rodriguez noted.
It’s that time of year again- our li le Trick-or-Treaters are on the prowl for can dy and treats commonly associated with Halloween.
We don’t want to put a ceiling on fun but we should take extra precautions to make sure our li le ones are safe.
If your child has any food allergy, as do six to eight percent of children in the US, Halloween activities, could be dangerous. Now that doesn’t mean you your children can't enjoy the holiday—it just means that you have to take extra special care.
First of all, remember, even mild food allergies that result in watery eyes or a rash can become more severe and can trigger a dangerous reaction known as anaphylaxis, which progresses quickly and can cause airway swelling and low blood pressure.
Halloween candy o en contains com mon allergens, such as peanuts, tree nuts, milk and eggs. Kids with food allergies should not trick-or-treat alone, and they should carry self-injectable epinephrine. ere are several other things we can do to make Halloween enjoyable as well as safe:
First of all SAY SOMETHING if your child has a food allergy. Be sure to inform the host of any Halloween party and pro
vide party hosts with a list of foods that may trigger an allergic reaction.
Clean up. Be sure to clean all cooking utensils, pans or other dishes if they have been in contact with a food allergen.
Check labels. It's important to read labels to learn if particular foods contain allergens or have been made on the same machine as other products that contain an allergen.
Just make sure your child knows what he or she can eat and remember the old adage--when in doubt, throw it out!
Finally here are some tips on how to safely handle the candy that comes home with your kids:
Get rid of home baked items or fruit. ey could be spoiled, poisoned, laced with illegal drugs or contain pins or razors.
Don’t recognize it? Not in the orginal wrapper? Package has hole? Look funny or old? THROW IT OUT!
Young children should not have hard candy or things with ny672515t4ruts be cause they represent choking hazards.
If it tastes funny, spit it out and rinse out your mouth immediately.
Cut so candy or candy bars in quar ters before eating it to expose and pins.
Now go on and ENJOY!

January 1 through June 30) and February 15 (for the period from July 1 through De cember 31) each year, rather than a single ling on June 30, as required under current law. Supplemental registration statements would be required for any property that is vacant at the end of a given reporting peri od. It would also require that the New York City Department of Finance (DOF) release this supplemental registration statement data within 60 days of the reporting dead line, compared to within six months under current law. e bill’s goal is to increase the frequency and timeliness of reported data on commercial vacancies in the city.

An indictment was unsealed Thurs day in federal court in Brooklyn charging Jin Hua Zhang; Gregory Armand; Chen Chen and Yanbin Chen, both of Queens;
Yanbing Chen; Changgui Huang; Xin Jin; Jiahui Miao; Lingming Zeng; Jin Fu Zhang; and Hua Zhou, also of Queens; with various offenses, including money laundering conspiracy, wire fraud con spiracy, bank fraud conspiracy, passport fraud conspiracy, aggravated identity theft and conspiring to operate an un licensed money transmitting business.
The defendants were arrested and ar raigned Thursday before United States
Magistrate Judge Peggy Kuo. One defen dant remains at large.
According to the indictment and a memorandum led in connection with the defendants’ bail hearings, the defendants engaged in a money laundering conspiracy dating back to May 2021 in which they laundered proceeds from an investment fraud scheme referred to as “Sha Zu Pan” or the “pig butchering” scam. rough this scam, more than 200 victims were con tacted through messaging applications and convinced to invest almost $18 million in trading platforms by sending funds to pur ported money manager bank accounts that were later stolen.
The defendants also operated an un licensed money transmitting business in which they converted approximately $52 million in cash into cashier’s checks
on behalf of customers. As payment for their services, the defendants received a fee, which was generally a portion of the fee that the business received. As part of these criminal schemes, the defendants opened bank and cryptocurrency ac counts under false names, using forged passports and identification documents of real people.
e case is part of an ongoing Or ganized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) investigation led by the United States A orney’s O ce for the Eastern District of New York and the FBI. e principal mission of the OCDETF pro gram is to identify, disrupt, and dismantle the most serious drug tra cking, weapons tra cking, and money laundering organi zations, and those primarily responsible for the nation’s illegal drug supply. OCDETF uses a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach that leverages the strengths of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies against criminal net works.
In July 2022, Brooklyn U.S. A orney Breon Peace was selected as the chairman of the White Collar Fraud subcommi ee for the A orney General’s Advisory Commi ee (AGAC). As the leader of the subcommi ee, Mr.
Peace will play a key role in making recom mendations to the AGAC to facilitate the prevention, investigation and prosecution of various nancially motivated, non-vio lent crimes including mail and wire fraud, bank fraud, health care fraud, tax fraud, se curities and commodities fraud, and iden tity the .
“As alleged, nearly $18 million was swindled from over 200 victims through out the country and laundered through the defendants’ sophisticated money laundering scheme,” Peace said. “These 11 arrests demonstrate the seriousness of financial fraud and the commitment of this Office and our law enforcement partners to rooting out bad actors and protecting victims.”
“For once the name of a scam - pig butchering - reflects the grotesque na ture of the harm it causes victims. We allege these fraudsters bled dry each of their victims and then used the money to set up fake cryptocurrency accounts. We know there are many more victims of these types of scams, and we urge those people to report it to the FBI. We will do all we can to bring each and ev ery criminal to justice,” added FBI NY Assistant Director-in-Charge Michael Driscoll.
Mayor Eric Adams, the Mayor’s O ce for People with Disabilities (MOPD), the New York City Department of Citywide Adminis trative Services (DCAS), and NYC Health + Hospitals/Test & Treat Corps (H+H/T2) on Tuesday announced that the City will distrib ute 10,000 COVID-19 at-home test kits that are more accessible to New Yorkers that are blind or have low vision. e at-home test kits — manufactured by Ellume and sent to the Big Apple by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — utilize easier-touse test components for those who are blind or have low vision and communicate with a user’s smartphone to give an electronic text readout of their result.
More accessible test kits will be dis tributed in the coming weeks and will be available through MOPD and a host of ad ditional partner organizations.
According to an analysis from New York City Department of City Planning, there are approximately 1 million people across the city that have disclosed having some type of disability, of whom about 200,000 reported having vision di culty. e El lume at-home test kits were initially made available to people by the federal govern ment through a White House initiative where individuals could order 12 at-home tests online. rough advocacy from the Mayor’s O ce, the CDC sent these at-
home test kits directly to New York City. In a robust e ort to make at-home COVID-19 tests readily available to every person and

“As we move into the post-COVID world, it’s important that we provide testing to all New Yorkers so we can avoid any reemergence of the virus in the future. Blind and low vision New Yorkers have been at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to at-home testing throughout the pandemic, but this new deployment of testing kits will seek to rectify that and provide some real equity to a group that is o en forgo en or overlooked. By providing everyone with accurate testing kits, we can further drive down COVID numbers and continue our march into a world in which the virus is not the omnipotent threat it was only one year ago,” said City Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Ozone Park).
community in New York City, the Adams administration will continue to explore avenues for procurement of additional test kits to serve the blind/low-vision commu nity and all New Yorkers.
Along with MOPD, organizations re ceiving the COVID-19 test kits will be:
• Bronx Independent Living Ser vices
• Center for Independence of the Disabled of New York
• Filomen M. D’Agostino Green berg Music School
• Helen Keller Services for the Blind

Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Monday that Jamal Brown has been indicted by a Queens County grand jury and arraigned in Supreme Court on charges of murder and criminal possession of a weapon in the killing of Anthony Edwards. Ed wards was found in his car on July 31 a block from his Edgemere, home with an apparent gunshot wound to the head.
District Attorney Katz said: “The scourge of gun violence continues to steal friends, family and loved ones from our communities, leaving heartache and hardship in its tragic wake. We will continue to fight this plague, on the streets and in the courts, with all our might and re sources.”
Brown, 27, of Beach 54 Street, was arraigned Monday before Queens Su preme Court Justice
Michael Aloise on a three-count indictment charging him with murder in the second degree and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree. Judge Aloise set the defendant’s return date for Dec. 6. If convicted, Brown faces up to 25 yearsto-life in prison.
According to the charges, on July 31, at approximately 10:05 a.m., Brown took out a loaded gun and fired mul tiple times at the 36-year-old victim,
striking him in the head while sitting in his car at the intersection of Beach 38th Street and Norton Avenue. As al leged, the defendant immediately fled the area in a white Jeep.
“The scourge of gun violence con tinues to steal friends, family and loved ones from our communities, leaving heartache and hardship in its tragic wake,” Katz said.
Brown was apprehended in Harlem on Sept. 22 and remains in custody.
Utilizing surveillance and undercover buys, the District A orney’s Major Eco nomic Crimes Bureau along with the NYPD’s Queens South Violent Crime Squad conducted a lengthy investigation leading to the arrest of the defendant.
Katz said the investigation began by looking into the activities of the defendant as an alleged drug supplier. An undercover detective posing as a “buyer” initially met with Mathurin on February 26, at which time the defendant allegedly sold to the undercover detective 123 Oxycodone pills laced with fentanyl.
According to the charges, a total of
13 cash transactions took place between February 26 and July 14, during which Mathurin sold 1,752 Oxycodone pills and more than 10 ounces of cocaine.
Upon laboratory testing of the seized narcotics, law enforcement o cials discov ered that each of the pills contained fen tanyl.
Katz said that there have been 271 sus pected fatal overdose cases across Queens so far in 2022, an estimated 54% increase from the same time last year. An over whelming majority of these deaths, ap proximately 77%, have been a ributed to fentanyl.
By Forum StaQueens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Tuesday that Emendjer Mathurin has been indicted by a Queens County grand jury and arraigned in Su preme Court on charges of criminal sale of a controlled substance for allegedly supplying a large amount of narcotics, including cocaine and fentanyl, to an un dercover officer between February and July.
District A orney Katz said, “Deadly narcotics, especially lethal fentanyl, have caused death and destruction all across our nation. While Queens County continues to experience an uptick in fatal overdoses, my
O ce is ghting back by relentlessly pursu ing those who sell poison in our communi ties. Following an investigation conducted by my Major Economic Crimes Bureau and the New York City Police Department, this defendant has been apprehended and faces justice in our courts.”
Mathurin, 31, of Queens Village, was arraigned Wednesday before Queens Su preme Court Judge Toni Cimino on a 13-count indictment charging him with criminal sale of a controlled substance in the first, second, and third degrees. Judge Cimino ordered the defendant to return to Court on November 14, 2022. If con victed, Mathurin faces up to 30 years in prison.
Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Wednesday that Carlos Garcia, 50, has been charged with man slaughter in the death of a 48-year-old man shoved onto the subway tracks Tues day at the Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Av enue station following a physical alterca tion.
District Attorney Katz said, “The sub way system is a vital lifeline for the mil lions of New Yorkers who depend on it to get around our great city. The recent spate of violence on trains and in stations is a threat not only to commuters, but to the city’s economic and social vital ity. The violence must end. We must do everything we can to ensure that all New Yorkers can commute safely, and to that
end we have charged the defendant and will be holding him accountable.”
Garcia, 50, of 133rd Street in South Ozone Park, was arraigned late Tuesday before Queens Criminal Court Judge Marty Lentz on charges of manslaughter in the second degree and assault in the second degree. Judge Lentz ordered the defendant to return to court on October 21, 2022. If convicted, he faces up to 15
years in prison.
According to the charges, between 4:40 p.m. and 4:47 p.m., inside the Roo sevelt Avenue-Jackson Heights subway station, the defendant physically as saulted the victim, causing him to fall onto the train tracks. An incoming train approached the subway station platform at the exact time of the fall, striking the victim and causing his death.
