The family of an 18-year-old who was killed in an apartment fire caused by a lithium-ion battery is sharing his story in hopes of preventing similar tragedies.
A large crowd gathered for a candlelight vigil in the East Village to honor the life of a beloved bodega worker who was killed over the weekend.
Police are still looking for the shooter and investigating a motive.
The 7-month-old was shot and killed on Moore and Humboldt Streets in East Williamsburg while her family was out for a walk.
Investigators say 27-year-old John Arango-Taborda was speeding and crashed into a car driven by 56-year-old Albert Coutinho.
Albert Coutinho, 56, was a pillar of Newark's Portuguese community and a key organizer of the city's Portugal Day Festival.
