Photo courtesy of NYPD Cops cuff pair for Richmond Hill hookah bar shooting Detectives slapped the cuffs on two men for allegedly shooting four individuals following a dispute outside a hookah lounge in Richmond Hill early in the morning of Aug. 13, according to police. Law enforcement sources said Andre Soler, 31, of 88th Avenue in Richmond Hill and Donald Jones, 27, of Bergen Street in Brooklyn participated in the shooting that occurred at about 2:30 a.m. in the vicinity of Jamaica Avenue and 105th Street. According to police, a 30-year-old man was shot in the left thigh while a 26-year-old man was shot in the neck; a 36-year-old man was hit in the right forearm; and a 19-year-old man was shot in the leg and torso. Members of the 102nd Precinct and EMS units responded to the incident. The four men were rushed to Elmhurst and Jamaica hospitals; all are expected to make a recovery. The motive remains under investigation, but the Daily News reported that the shooting may have been triggered by an altercation at the club moments earlier. The suspects were observed fleeing inside a white sedan traveling at a high rate of speed. Police officers obtained a description of the suspects and their getaway vehicle. Later that morning, Soler and Jones — who fit the description of the individuals involved in the shooting — were stopped by police inside a white sedan at the corner of 179th Street and 104th Avenue in Jamaica. They were taken into custody initially on drunk driving and other related charges. Following an investigation and further questioning, the two suspects were charged on Saturday night with attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment. During their arraignment hearing in Queens Criminal Court on Aug. 14, Soler was ordered held on $350,000 bail, while Jones was remanded on $250,000 bail. Both men are scheduled to return to court on Aug. 30. A formerly homeless man is now spending the next 15 years in a jail cell for bludgeoning a man to death with a rock following an argument in Forest Park last year. Zoltan (a.k.a. Steven) Forai, 45, pleaded guilty on June 30 to first-degree manslaughter for the June 2015 killing of Diego Piedrahita, 23, whose body was found a week after his death in the vicinity of Park Lane South and Woodhaven Boulevard. Forai was sentenced on Aug. 10 to serve 15 years in prison and five years’ probation. According to Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown, Forai and Piedrahita, who resided on Booth Memorial Avenue in Flushing, were known to each other and got into a fight sometime between June 8 and 9, 2015. Prosecutors said Forai kicked Piedrahita in the head and body, then picked up a rock and smashed him in the face and head multiple times. The deadly beating triggered a massive search and increased security in the days after Piedrahita’s body was discovered. Forai, whom police had identified as a person of interest in the case, was spotted on June 19 drinking beer at the corner of Woodhaven Boulevard and Myrtle Avenue. Prosecutors said Forai had shaved his beard in order to avoid looking like the bearded version of himself which was featured in a photograph that police issued. He was initially arrested for drinking in public before being charged with Piedrahita’s death. “By his actions, Forai showed a total disregard for human life, and the sentence meted out by the court is justified to keep the public safe and to punish him for this senseless crime,” Brown said. 102nd Precinct Kew Gardens, Richmond Hill, Woodhaven and Ozone Park Homeless man gets 15 years in prison for fatally beating man with rock in Forest Park
