A Woodhaven man has been charged with brutally beating his wife to death in their 91st Street home last week, according to police and published reports.
Ovido Porras, 86, allegedly slew his longtime spouse last Wednesday evening, Luz Porras, 78, and le her body at the bo om of a staircase inside their house.
Luz Porras had su ered trauma to her face, and was unconscious and unresponsive Wednesday night when found at the base of the rst- oor stairs at the home she shared with her husband on 91st Street near 91st Avenue in Woodhaven, cops told the New York Post.
According to the Post, Ovido Porras was at home when cops arrived around 8:20 p.m., and was initially taken into custody
for questioning by investigators. He was charged with murder the next day, investigators said. He also faces raps for tampering with physical evidence and criminal contempt, cops said.
Police could not con rm exactly how the woman was killed, and are awaiting information from the city Medical Examiner’s o ce told the Post.
In celebration of National EMS Week 2023, the FDNY held its 27th annual Second Chance Ceremony on Wednesday in Brooklyn.
is special event reunites 10 patients who have survived cardiac arrest with the paramedics, Emergency Medical Technicians, FDNY EMS o cers, re ghters, dispatchers, bystanders, and other rst responders who helped save their lives.
e 10 survivors included a premature newborn baby girl who made a full recovery, an NYPD Auxiliary o cer on his way to
work, and a man from New Jersey who good Samaritans aided before FDNY EMS arrived.
Another survivor who a ended this year’s ceremony is Richmond Hill’s Jayden Hardowar.
“Teamwork is imperative. is team that I’m a part of consists of Paramedics, EMTs and Fire ghters. During 2020 at the height of the COVID 19 pandemic, I was part of a team that responded to what most, if not all rst responders consider the most stressful 911 emergency we can go to, a pediatric cardiac arrest. As rst responders we want to work fast and e ciently. My job is to make sure that the team can perform all medical
interventions necessary to give the child the best possible chance at a positive outcome. Managing the scene for safety, keeping the family informed, ensuring all resources necessary are available and transporting the child to the most appropriate hospital are my priorities. Most of the time we never see our patient again. We try to process what occurred and get ready for the next call for help. Being able to meet a patient during the Second Chance Ceremony that had a positive outcome and is thriving because of what the team accomplished is the most amazing and rewarding opportunity,” said FDNY Lt. Edwin Gonzalez, who helped to resuscitate
Jayden Hardowar a er he experienced a sudden cardiac arrest at home.
“He said ‘mommy’ in a very shallow voice. He quickly started to turn blue and became unresponsive. My older son started doing CPR immediately and we called 911. e rescuers showed up very quickly. Not a minute was wasted once they arrived. ey went right to work. Even the doctors were amazed that he survived this without any complications. It is a true miracle. I just want to say thank you to the rst responders who gave Jayden a second chance and kept our family together,” said Navita Hardowar, Jayden’s mom.
Mayor Eric Adams today released the following statement after the New York City Department of Law filed an application for modification of provision of final judgment following a 1984 consent decree in Callahan v. Carey related to the city’s Right to Shelter law:
“From the start, let us be clear, that we are in no way seeking to end of the right to shelter. Today’s action will allow us to get clarity from the court and preserve the right to shelter for the tens of thousands in our care — both previously unhoused individuals and asylum seekers. Given that we’re unable to provide care for an unlimited number of people and are already overextended, it is in the best interest of everyone, including those seeking to come to the United States, to be upfront that New York City cannot single-handedly provide care to everyone crossing our border. Being dishonest about this will only result in our system collapsing, and we need our government partners to know the truth and do their share.
“For more than a year, New York City has — largely on its own — provided shelter, food, clothing, and more to over 70,000 migrants who have arrived in our city. We now have more asylum seekers in our care than New Yorkers experiencing homelessness when we came into office. When the original Callahan consent decree came down almost 40 years ago, no one could have contemplated, foresaw, or even remotely imagined a mass influx of individuals entering our system — more than doubling our census count in slightly over a year. Our city has done more to support asylum seekers than any other city in the nation, but the unfortunate reality is that the city has extended itself further than its resources will allow.”
In the City’s May 23 application to the Hon. Deborah Kaplan, City Corporation
Counsel Sylvia Hinds-Radix wrote, “This ongoing flood of asylum-seeke rs arriving in New York City from the southern border represents a crisis of national, indeed international dimension; yet, the challenges and fiscal burden of this national crisis have fallen almost exclusively upon the City. As the country's by-default backstop for intemational and national policy failures, as well as inter- and intra-state political maneuvering, all entirely outside of its control, the City is now facing an unprecedented demand on its shelter capacity. These unprecedented demands on the City's shelter resources confront the City Defendant with challenges never contemplated, foreseeable, or indeed even remotely imagined by any signatory to the Callahan Judgment.
“The dire extremity of this crisis does not represent a failure of will or commitment on the City's part to asylum-seeking individuals and families seeking refuge from the peril and hardship in their countries of origin; rather it results precisely from that commitment: the City has done far more than many other - if not all - other jurisdictions in the United States for this desperate population. The unfortunate reality is that the City has extended itself further than its resources will allow, placing in jeopardy the City's obligations to manage its fisc in order to maintain critical infrastructure and services and provide for the well-being of all of its citizens.”
Last week, Adams announced that he was reversing his decision to convert some public school gyms into emergency migrant shelters.
“We’ve won this battle, but the war continues,” Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Ozone Park) said. “We can’t rest on our laurels now. We need to keep fighting until we end NYs status as a sanctuary city.”

It is estimated that more than 20% of migraine su erers will experience what is called an “aura” before the actual headache arrives. Auras are sensations that signal a mi¬graine is on the way. ey can produce sen-sations like tingling in the face and arms or face, tunnel vision and di culty in speaking.

Customs and Border Protection emergency medical technicians recently saved a passenger’s life by administering two doses of Narcan to the unconscious woman outside Terminal 4 at John F. Kennedy International Airport, according to CBP o cials. e woman was then transported to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center for further monitoring and care.
e ordeal began at 5:48 p.m., when Port Authority Police informed CBP that an unconscious woman was on the sidewalk outside Terminal 4. PAPD requested that CBP emergency medical technicians respond with Narcan. At 5:59 p.m., the EMTs administered the two doses of Narcan, resulting in the woman regaining consciousness. According to the Mayo Clinic, naloxone (Narcan) nasal spray is used for emergency treatment of an opioid overdose or possible overdose.

Queens District A orney Melinda Katz announced on Friday that Gerald Gri n has been convicted of killing a man found naked and bludgeoned in his Ridgewood home in 2011.
Gri n, 46, of Brooklyn, was convicted by a jury of murder in the second degree, burglary in the rst degree, robbery in the rst and second degrees, intimidating a witness in the third degree, a empted tampering with physical evidence, criminal possession of stolen property in the h degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree. Gri n faces 25 years to life
in prison on the murder conviction when he is sentenced by Queens Supreme Court Justice Ushir Pandit-Durant on June 15.
According to the charges and trial testimony:
• On Sept. 14, 2011, at approximately 5 p.m., Peter Polizzi, 31, was found by his brother inside his apartment on Clover Place in Ridgewood. He was underneath a couch, naked and badly beaten. e apartment had been ransacked and various items were missing. Polizzi died three days later.
• O cers responding to the location recovered a used wine glass and a bloody baseball bat. Detectives investigating the incident obtained information from a
friend of the family who saw two men leaving the location at approximately 11:15 a.m. on Sept. 14, with one wearing a T-shirt that read, “Irving Scrap Metal.”
• e NYPD’s Cold Case Squad received the case in 2015. Working with Polizzi’s phone records, they found a woman who revealed she was inside the apartment at the time of the murder.
• e woman said she had been taken to the address by Gri n, who was her pimp at the time, and another man. Gri n a acked Polizzi with a baseball bat and the other man beat him. A er the a ack, the men ransacked the apartment and removed two cell phones, money, a unique watch with a
diamond-encrusted face and a box containing a white powdery substance.
• DNA taken from the wine glass matched the woman’s DNA pro le. In 2017, she identi ed Gri n in a photograph as the perpetrator with the bat. Gri n’s Facebook account included a photograph of him wearing the stolen watch. Additionally, business records from Irving Scrap Metal identi ed Gri n as a customer of the company at the time of the murder.
• Gri n was indicted in 2018.
“ is cold-blooded killer thought he could get away with murder, but the NYPD tracked him down and we made sure he will go to jail for a long time,” Katz said.

aCustoms and Border Protection (CBP) ofcers in Cincinnati recently intercepted four shipments containing fentanyl, cocaine, and ketamine. e shipments were from Colombia, Dominican Republic, and the United Kingdom, and were heading to residential addresses in California, New York, Michigan, and the United Kingdom.
CBP Narcotic Detector Dog “Bruno” was actively working incoming freight and alerted to a shipment of food cans. e substance inside the cans appeared to not match the label of the can and have a white liquid substance with an unusual consistency inside. Anomalies such as these help o cers decide what narcotics are mixed within the liquid. e substance tested positive for the properties of Cocaine, a schedule II narcotic. e 10 pounds of cocaine was heading to the United Kingdom and would have an approximate street value of over $172,000. A second shipment was discovered while o cers inspected incoming freight from Dominican Republic. O cers opened a shipment that held a co ee maker. Although the co ee maker was normal, hidden inside the
co ee maker was a bag full of blue pills with triangle markings. e bag of pills were extracted and tested positive for fentanyl. e fentanyl, which heading to a residence in New York, is a Schedule II, highly dangerous and deadly drug. is particular shipment would have had a street value of over $3,000.

Two more shipments were discovered on the same night while officers inspected inbound shipments from Colombia
both substances and each tested positive for ketamine hydrochloride, a schedule III non-narcotic that is regulated under the Controlled Substance Act. Ketamine can be known on the streets as “Special K,” often used by young adults in night clubs and parties. One of the shipments was heading to Michigan, while the other was heading to Colorado. This was the second time in two days a ketamine shipment heading to Colorado was intercepted by CBP. The ketamine seized had a value of $50,404.

“CBP has an essential job ensuring the safety of the public, this includes detecting and intercepting threats such as deadly narcotics like fentanyl before they reach the streets,” said Director of Field Operations for the Chicago Field O ce, LaFonda D. Su on-Burke. “ e o cers and specialists in Cincinnati continue to uphold the core values of CBP, and I am proud to lead such a bright workforce as we work together to combat transnational crime.”

City Councilwoman Joann Ariola (ROzone Park) teamed up with Resorts World NYC to transport the 5th grade class at PS 306 in Woodhaven to and from Citi Field for a Bullying Prevention Performance and Amazin’ baseball game on ursday.
“We were able to obtain school buses to bring us to Citi Field, however, because
the game ends a er the school day there were no available contracted school buses to bring us back to school,” explained 5th grade teach Patricia Molina. “ e Mets organization put me in contact with their charter bus company and they quoted us $1,500 for two handicapped accessible buses for our two wheelchair-bound students.”
e class, however, was unable to raise the funds required to cover that cost, and
reached out to the councilwoman’s o ce for assistance. In turn, Ariola reached out to community partners at the Resorts World Casino, who provided all necessary funding to the students.
“Resorts World did not hesitate to step up to the plate and provide the funding that these kids needed to make it to their game,” Ariola said. “ ey’ve proven to be a valuable partner several times in the past when
the community needed assistance, so I had a feeling they might be able to help with this as well.”
“I was honored to have been able to make the connections and broker this arrangement,” the councilwoman added. “Many of these children have never been to a baseball game before, and thanks to this partnership we’ve given them memories that will last a lifetime.”
On Friday, May 19, at approximately 12:07 p.m., police responded to a 911 call of a motor vehicle accident involving a motorcycle on North Conduit Avenue in the vicinity of 79th Street. Upon arrival, officers observed Dwayne General, 54, the operator of the motorcycle, lying on the roadway with trauma about the body. EMS responded to the location and transported the aided male to Brookdale Hospital Medical
Center, where he was pronounced deceased.
Further investigation by the NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad determined that a 2012 Yamaha V-Star Cruiser motorcycle, operated by General, was traveling westbound on North Conduit Avenue when he failed to properly navigate the roadway, just west of 79th Street, and the motorcycle fell onto its left side, onto the street, where the vehicle came to a rest.
e investigation remains ongoing, NYPD o cials noted.
Just last month, the City Department of Transportation announced plans for a street improvement project at North and South Conduit avenues and 79th Street.
In a le er to stakeholders, DOT Queens Borough Commissioner Nicole Garcia noted that “the design is in response to numerous community and elected o cial requests for a safer pedestrian crossing between the north and south sides of Conduit Avenue across the grassy area.”
Michael Perri, a former City police ofcer, has been sentenced by U.S. District Judge Rachel Kovner to 33 months of imprisonment and a $25,000 ne for conspiring to use interstate facilities to commit bribery, federal prosecutors announced ursdsay.
Perri has already paid the government over $158,000 in forfeiture. During the relevant period, Perri was a recently retired NYPD cop formerly assigned to the 107th Precinct in Northern Queens. Perri pleaded guilty to the charge in Nov. 2022. Perri’s co-defendant, James Davneiro, a NYPD police o cer in the 107th Precinct during the relevant period, was sentenced in March 2023 to one year of imprisonment a er pleading guilty to the same o ense. Another of Perri’s co-defendants, Giancarlo Osma, also a NYPD police o cer with the 107th Precinct during the relevant period, was sentenced in April 2023 to 14 months’ imprisonment, a er pleading guilty to the same o ense.
According to court filings, Perri orchestrated a scheme to pay thousands of dollars in bribes to co-defendants Davneiro and Osma for their corrupt agreement to assist an automobile repair and tow trucking business that Perri had begun operating upon his retirement from the NYPD (the “Business”). Beginning in May 2020, Davneiro and Osma responded
to automobile accidents and directed the damaged vehicles to the Business operated by Perri, instead of using the NYPD’s Directed Accident Response Program (DARP), which requires NYPD officers to identify an appropriate licensed tow trucking business to respond to the scene of the automobile accident and remove the damaged vehicles from the scene. To ensure that no particular business receives favored treatment, NYPD officers are required to use a computer system that randomly selects a licensed tow trucking business. Davneiro and Osma bypassed DARP and directed damaged vehicles directly to the Business in exchange for
thousands of dollars in bribe payments paid by Perri. Perri, Davneiro, and Osma continued to participate in the scheme until May 2021, when they were arrested. In total, Davneiro and Osma steered at least 73 vehicles damaged in automobile accidents to Perri, resulting in total profits to the Business of more than $150,000. In exchange, Perri paid Davneiro and Osma more than $50,000 in bribes in total.
“Michael Perri, a er retiring from the NYPD, conspired with two police o cers to betray their oaths and the public with promises of easy money, and as a result, they have all been sentenced to prison for their corruption,” said Brooklyn U.S. At-
torney Breon Peace. “ is o ce will vigorously investigate and prosecute public servants and their associates who exploit their positions of power for private gain.”
“Dedicated to uncovering and eradicating corruption in all its forms, investigators with our Internal A airs Bureau worked tirelessly since the outset of this case,” added NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell. “ ere must always be zero tolerance for such betrayals of public trust. I thank our partners with the FBI’s Public Corruption Unit and everyone from the U.S. A orney’s O ce for the Eastern District who helped to guide this case through to its conclusion.”
Congresswoman Grace Meng (DFlushing) announced on Friday that the New York Hall of Science (NYSCI) in Flushing Meadows Corona Park has been awarded federal funding from the National Science Foundation to participate in a project on artificial and natural intelligence.
The facility will be part of a $20 million federally funded initiative led by Columbia University to establish the AI
Institute for Artificial and Natural Intelligence (ARNI): an interdisciplinary center that will bring several top research institutions together to focus on a national priority: connecting the major progress made in artificial intelligence (AI) systems to the revolution in our understanding of the brain.
Over the next five years, NYSCI will serve as a collaborative museum outreach partner and the home of the Youth Residency program to develop and test new exhibit activities that foster public
engagement around AI and Neuroscience. Through interactive public engagement, NYSCI will advance one plank of the ARNI program: to invite American youth and their families to discover how our brains work, how AI can help us see exciting parts of being human (e.g., experiencing and seeing how memories form), and to tinker with how AI is the same and different from the way humans think.
“NYSCI is excited to collaborate with the Artificial and Natural Intelligence Institute's Youth Residency program to en -
gage Explainers, who are part of our signature Science Career Ladder program, and foster public engagement around AI and Neuroscience,” said Dr. Margaret Honey, president and CEO of NYSCI. “This fiveyear partnership will invite visitors and families to discover how our brains work and explore the intriguing connections between humans and machine.”
Funding for the project is also provided through the Department of Defense. NYSCI will receive $499,413 for its partnership on the project.
Queens Rising, a month-long, multi-disciplinary arts celebration created to highlight the borough’s culture and creative diversity, returns this June , featuring more than 300 events and over 100 presenting organizations.

Other multicultural events include the Queens International Children’s Festival, a concert by Jazz legend Antionette Montague, the Queensboro Dance Festival, and the Rockaway Street Market. Queens Rising will also take over the live performances at the Queens Night Market on June 3, featuring live music across a variety of cultural traditions. Additionally, Queens Rising is partnering with Culture Lab LIC to host an all-Queens artist gallery show open for the entire month of June.
On Saturday, June 3, Queens Rising will bring programming to the Queens Night Market featuring an all-Queens artist lineup, including:
• “Greg Caz is the premier DJ bringing the sounds of Brazilian samba to dancefloors everywhere. Not only is he one half of the best Brazilian influ -
enced DJ night in New York City, Brazilian Beat Brooklyn, he is also bringing the music…by releasing records full of these Brazilian beat nuggets.”CulturesOfSoul.com.
• Korean Traditional Music and Dance Center’s (KTMDC’s) professional dance troupe performs a diverse repertoire of purely authentic traditional Korean dance throughout the U.S. and in Korea.

The troupe performs for cultural and educational events, as well as private functions. Some of the places they have performed include: Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Citi Field, Ellis Island, Metro -
politan Museum, Egg Theater in Albany, United Nations, French and Italian embassies, and many universities.
• Allen Gogarty, a folk singer and staple of New York City’s Irish music community, will bring both traditional and nontraditional Irish folk tunes to the Queens Night Market. Allen received lifesaving care from Northwell Health, Queens Risings’ title sponsor after a recent major medical incident. “The gift of life has been handed back to me,” Gogarty said. “It’s something that we take for granted that I won’t ever take for granted again.”
• The Afro-Latineers specialize in Latin Jazz with West African rhythms. Ike Sturm, music director for Jazz at Saint Peter’s Church, said “The
performance by ‘Sabor & The AfroLatineers’ was a bright and energetic point in our program, playing with a tight groove and uplifting spirit.”
• Jennah Vox is a singer from Queens with a sound who is a cross between Adele and Amy Winehouse. According to QR officials, Vox’s powerful voice fills up any venue and space in which she performs. She draws her influence from neo-soul and spoken word and her songs are deeply emotional pulling from past relationships as she turns challenges of the heart into redemptive art.
