In a harrowing incident near a school in Queens, New York, a 13-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by a man wielding a machete-style knife1. The suspect, Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi, a 25-year-old Ecuadorian migrant who entered the U.S. illegally in June 2021, was apprehended after community members recognized him from police-released photos and videos. The New York Police Department (NYPD) praised the bravery of the young victims and the community’s support, emphasizing the importance of old-fashioned police work combined with modern technology in solving the case1.
The assault occurred in broad daylight at Kissena Park when the perpetrator forced the victims into a wooded area, tied their wrists together, and assaulted the girl before fleeing. Thanks to the efforts of vigilant citizens, the suspect is now in custody, facing charges including first-degree rape, sex abuse, robbery, and kidnapping1. The community’s swift response ensures that children, teachers, and families can feel safer as they go about their daily lives.
